Until now, most health professionals have considered diabetes a one-way street. Once you developed it, you were stuck with itand you could anticipate one complication after another, from worsening eyesight and nerve symptoms to heart and kidney problems.
Enter Dr. Neal Barnard, who through a series of groundbreaking studies, the latest funded by the National Institutes for Health, has shown it doesnt have to be that way. By following the diet outlined in this book, readers can control blood sugar three times more effectively than with the American Diabetes Associations diet and, beyond that, improve their bodies ability to respond to insulinin effect reversing the defining symptom of the disease.

Causes of Diabetes
While the cause of diabetes are not clearly known, diet is a major factor responsible for the
cause of diabetes. Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of
the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. This causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.
Our body need a balanced diet to produce the neccessary energy for performing vital
functions. Eating too much fats, carbohydrates and proteins are harmful to the body. Also,
too much food hampers the pancreas ability to secrete insulin. The incidences of diabetes
increases in people with a habit of eating foods "rich" in refined carbohydrates like biscuts
white bread, cakes, chocolate, ice creams, and puddings. This rise of the blood sugar along with insufficient insulin secretion leads to diabetes melllitus.
Obesity
Excessive body weight serves as a factor for diabetes. Insulin does not function properly in a body that has an extra amount of fat. The main function of the insulin is to allow the sugar to enter the muscle and tissue cells from the blood. However, due to increase body fat, the muscle and tissue cells become resistant to the insulin. Thus, leading to high blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) and finally diabetes.
Emotional Stress
Grief, anxiety, worry, death of any person close, etc. may alter the level of the blood sugar and lead to diabetes. An irregular and chaotic life style will deeply influence the metabolism of the body and cause pancreatic insufficiency. Thus, emotional stress can also lead to diabetes.
