Is it really possible to cure type II diabetes in thirty days with diet and exercise? Well the results speaks for themselves.

Six individuals from all walks of life came together to try a program that fed them raw vegan food for thirty days in order to get rid of diabetes. After the 30 days, those who stuck with the program did in fact reverse diabetes and was able to get off all medications and insulin.

Once the thirty days are over then what? Well most of them and I would guess most diabetics out there would have to re-learn how to chose, prepare and eat the foods that are in the best interest of their body.

This entire re-education is important because every think you put in your mouth has an effect, good or bad. I because a vegetarian, and then a vegan over 10 years ago and have never looked back. I do not miss flesh foods and the smell now makes me sick. To think I was a big heavy meat eater as I was into the food and beverage industry and worked as a chef for 25 years before becoming a vegetarian, so if I can do it I know anyone can.

You do not need to become vegan in order to cure your type II diabetes, but you will have to make some radical changes in your lifestyle and eating habits to be able to achieve the results you need.

At least a 80% plant based diet high in fiber and very low in fat and oils is what’s needed to succeed. Out of that 80% of plant based food 70% should be raw, or uncooked. Cooking foods changes the chemical make up of foods and kills the essential, life giving nutrients and enzymes in he food.

Reducing the fat and oils from the diet will in turn reduce the fat that reaches the into the blood stream and liver. This will gradually restore the sensitivity of the cells in the body to insulin, which will help in the transfer of sugar into the cells. The result are usually quick and dramatic. By just reducing your fat intake by just 10% of your daily caloric intake, a type II diabetic can reduce and normalize blood sugar levels to normal in just 6 - 8 weeks.

A Diet high I plant base fiber is important because it will help to regulate the release of sugars into the blood stream which causes the high and low, spike and dips in your insulin production.

The more dramatic is your change, the more dramatic the results. The news is getting around and there are thousands of former diabetics who are able to get rid of all there medication and in fact live a normal life.

Exercises should also be added to the routine and most be consistent and regular. A brisk walk is all is needed to help reduce your weight and help to burn up the fat that is in the body. Overweight and obesity is a major cause of type II diabetes.

Take charge of your health starting today and you can be diabetes free in as little as 30 days.

They say misconceptions can kill. Well, Diabetes misconceptions have killed and will continue to kill many for years to come. We know so much about diabetes. We get information from many sources. From TV, from magazines, from the internet, from a neighbor, from the barber and from many other reliable and not-so-reliable sources.

This is precisely the reason why despite the fact that we know so much, still many more keep dying from this disorder. Because we fail to filter the chaff from the grain. And if we want to avoid Diabetes complications, we have to correct our deep-seated misconceptions.

1.”I’m not fond of sweets.”

Although a penchant for sweets will hasten your membership to the Honey Club, an aversion to it does not guarantee immunity from the disorder. First of all, sugar can be found NOT ONLY in sweets. ALMOST ALL the carbohydrates we take will be converted into sucrose (table sugar) by our intestinal enzymes and ultimately into glucose (blood sugar) before being absorbed into the blood. This would include bread, rice, root crops, and even unripe fruits. So, if your attention is focused only on sweets, you’ll have been shot from behind and you’ll never know what hit you.

2. “We don’t have a history of Diabetes!”

It would be difficult to trace all our relatives up to the 4th degree. And although advances in travel have made migration easier, it has also made recognition of distant relatives more difficult, and increasingly irrelevant. Until we find the need to trace our lineage.

3. “My blood sugar was normal last year.”

With the average western diet these days, yearly blood sugar monitoring is probably inadequate to guard against the onslaught of Diabetes in any individual. And besides, by the time your blood sugar goes up, Diabetes has been doing damage to your tissues for the past 10 yrs. An increase in blood cholesterol leading to hardening and narrowing of the arteries begins years before the blood sugar even starts to go up. It’s a Trojan Horse that does the damage while you snugly sleep, oblivious to the web of complications that this illness cunningly weaves.

4. “My cuts easily heal.”

Just like in No. 3, delayed healing of wounds is a late complication of Diabetes. So why wait to be a candidate for amputation? Landmines have done enough damage to innocent lives.

5. “My urine sugar is normal.”

Sugar in the urine is an effect of “filtration overflow”. When the sugar in the blood exceeds the kidney’s capacity to filter it, the sugar overflows into the urine. So in kidneys with high filtering capacity, the urine sugar may be negative in spite of a very high blood sugar. Are you going to wait for the bucket to spill before turning off the tap?

There are many other misconceptions regarding this terrible disease. Too many, in fact to occupy too many Ezine articles. But I suppose I have made my point. And if we are able to change our notion of this terrible disease, we might be able to transform our reaction to it from that of “What’s in it for me?” to “What can we do?”.

So if we think that we are exempted from this dreaded disease, that would be another misconception. Why don’t we take more time to learn more about it? And with the right information, we might be lucky enough to indeed get exempted.
