To avoid developing diabetes, we have to eat good fats and avoid soda, bad fats and other toxic sugar-rich processed foods. Start with clean alkaline water, fresh air, and avoidance of toxins (chemical cleaners, plastics,molds/fungus,fumes,metal toxins,other inflammatory substances/drugs/medications). Do liver detox once a month (citrus/pectin,other detoxifiers). Get a massage once a week. Sleep during the night.
Always have fiber, digestive enzymes and probiotic. Add seaweed and cooked/raw whole foods in your diet. Wash veggies with diluted vinegar water or salt water. Do not eat moldy/left over foods. Alwasy have a strong immune system by avoiding anxiety and chronic stress. Avoid caffeine, smoking (second hand smoke) and alcohol (too much).
Background:

Both my parents were obese at the time of developing diabetes. However, now (in their 60s) they are quite slim but still have insulin resistance. I exercise daily and consider myself “in shape.” I’m 155 lbs. and am 5″9. I don’t eat processed foods and sugary products.

Diabetes is not taking up enough glucose due to either the lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin – due to presence of bad fat
