Raw food diet and diabetes

[Guest guest]

My father has been a laten diabetic for 20 years and 3 month ago was

put on insulin... his reading are fluctuating all over the map from 3

to 30... he is following a doctor supplied diet that requires him to

eat certain amounts of carbs sugars and protein... I am wondering if

anyone here has found that eating certain raw foods would regulate his

blood sugars better.

 

thanks for all your help.

My Mother is diabetic--not as sick as your Dad from the sound of

things, though, sorry to hear that he is so ill. She came to stay

with me in January and I got her into trying more raw foods. I made

the recipes that kind of mirror her favorites. (She is an old Italian

Momma, so you can imagine what her diet usually consists of!)

 

She really seemed to like the way she felt after a week with me, so

she broght some of the the recipes and ideas back home. While she

followed a mostly raw diet, her numbers were very good. In fact, her

doc asked her what she was doing to keep things so regulated!

 

There was no magic combination of things that she ate--she just tried

to keep the food as close to nature as possible and uses raw versions

of her favorites when she craves them or needs to. I don't know if

adopting that way of eating will help your Dad or if it will hurt him,

but it is a thought.

 

Best of luck to you and your family...

For information of effects of raw diet on diabetes go to

www.treeoflife.nu. They have had some fantastic results with

diabetics. One of the secrets is watching the glycemic index of the raw

foods one is eating. They have shown that very severe diabetics can go

off of insulin with a raw diet.
