Diabetes occurs when the body becomes unable to handle glucose (sugar), which builds up to dangerous levels in the blood. There are two types of diabetes: (1) Type I Diabetes also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes, and (2) Type II diabetes also known as non insulin dependent diabetes. A diagnosis of diabetes is usually made when a blood sugar test is consistently above 125 mg% (7.0) after an 8 hour fast. Fasting blood sugar levels of 100-125 (5.6- 6.9) are known as pre-diabetes.

The classical symptoms of diabetes are:

polydipsia (excessive thirst),

polyuria (excessive passage of urine),

and polyphagia (excessive hunger)

Isn’t Sugar the culprit?

Sugar is not the cause but it is a great risk to diabetics once they are diagnosed!

Studies conducted by James Anderson, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the University Of Kentucky concluded that a strong relationship to fat—both fat in the diet and fat on the body causes diabetes. The disease is rare in areas of the world where fat intake is low and obesity uncommon. - p. 53,

Animal products are the largest source fat in the diet and the only source of cholesterol! -p. 119, Health Power.
