Food Causing Diabetes
In Short ;
Diabetes is caused when the intake of energy (from protein or sugars) is different from the need for that energy.
Naturally, this does not happen, but milk, wheat products and foods that have been heated in any way, always contain physical addictive substances, stimulating food consumption regardless the physical need for energy. That is why obesity often comes with diabetes.
But diabetes also occurs in thin people;
Your body has two types of energy at its disposal: fat-like substances and sugar-like substances. Consuming too little fat de-stabilizes blood-sugar levels, which is what eventually can cause diabetes.
So, sugars don't cause fat, and consuming protein or sugars can only cause diabetes in the relative absence of fat, because you need that fat (fatty acids) to be able to deposit redundant blood-sugar glucose) into the fat-depots (as glycerol).
Psychological stress can also cause diabetes ; stress increases adrenaline secretion, increasing blood-glucose level. If this glucose is not used for physical activity, this may eventually cause diabetes too.
To prevent diabetes: eliminate psychological stress. Consume as little prepared food (proteinacous prepared food in particular) and make sure to consume sufficient fat with every meal.
In Detail ;
Too little fat
Sugars do not cause diabetes.
All sugars*, including common sugar, fruit-sugars and starch, are decomposed into glucose for utilization. And glucose is there to feed your brain and your muscles. The brain alone needs 125 to 150 gram of pure glucose a day. Without glucose, which means without sugars, you can't live for a second.
Merely the utilization of sugars can never cause diseases.
But consuming too much sugar does. Doesn't it ?
Only consuming too much protein and / or sugars combined with consuming too little fat, can cause diabetes.
Sugars and fats are (besides alcohol) the only sources of energy in your blood. (redundant protein is converted into sugars and fats) You need fat to stabilize the need for glucose ; Sugars supply you with 'fast' energy, but this source is exhausted pretty fast too. Fats keep you going all day, and while you're asleep.
When a meal mainly consists of protein** or carbs, the blood glucose level increases much more than when also much fat is absorbed. Also, there are less fatty acids available and thus more glucose is utilized for energy. And because of this, the blood-glucose level decreases sooner too. So, there is a much stronger fluctuation of the blood-glucose level.
Consuming too little fat causes your blood-glucose level to fluctuate too much, exhausting the insulin-energy system, which causes diabetes.
* * Protein consists of amino acids. Amino acids that can only be transformed into glucose-like substances are : methionine, cysteine, valine, threonine, alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, histidine, proline, serine, and arginine. Leucine and lysine can only be converted into fat-like substances. Phenylalanine, tyrosine, isoleucine, and tryptophan can both be converted in fat- or glucose-like substances. Amino acids like arginine increase insulin secretion (1). All food-proteins contain arginine. (2)
Can consuming complex sugars prevent diabetes ?
Never ever.
Starches, for example, are 'complex' sugars; they are long chains of glucose only, and they therefore spike the blood glucose level much stronger than fruit-sugars do, (a mixture of glucose, fructose, sucrose (sucrose=glucose+fructose) and others) because fructose first needs to be converted into glucose* before it can elevate the blood sugar level.
Starches are far more dangerous than other sugars, and they are primarily present in grains, beans and foods like pasta, pizza and bread.
People who do think simple sugars destabilize the blood-glucose level, only need to consume sufficient fat. But no......... they think fat is bad too….
Clean fats, like easy-to-digest sugars, are 'brainfood', keeping you energized and focused all day.
* Fructose can be converted into available energy directly, but fructose is also converted into glucose: Fructose > fructose-1-phosphate > glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate >(by the enzyme aldolase) fructose-1,6-bisphosphate > fructose-6-phosphate > glucose.
That is why in hereditary fructose intolerance, a lack of aldolase B inhibits the conversion of fructose into glucose, which can result in too low blood glucose levels.
Stress
Stress can also cause diabetes ; Stress increases epinephrine (adrenaline) secretion. This hormone stimulates transformation of glycogen into directly available glucose, to enable you to fight, or flee from danger. If however this glucose is not directly used for physical action, it increases insulin secretion, what eventually can lead to insulin exhaustion and diabetes.
Obesity
Diabetes often comes with obesity. But obese people can only become diabetic if excessive protein and carbohydrate consumption regularly comes without excessive fat consumption.
(or when one has to deal with too much stress of course)
But how can obese people ever lack fat ?
Of course obese people do not lack body-fat. But to prevent excessive protein and carbohydrates from causing diabetes, dietary fat is constantly required. Or to put it differently ; only in the relative absence of dietary fat can excessive protein and / or carbohydrates cause diabetes ;
All consumed carbohydrates (sugars) are decomposed into glucose for utilization. When energy intake exceeds energy needs, spare energy is stored : Glucose is deposited as glycogen in the muscles and the liver (± 1600 kcal maximally), and as glycerol in adipose tissue. Fatty acids also are stored in adipose tissue.
By nature, no food is consumed when the body disposes of sufficient energy and fat deposits, and glycogen depots are full. However, consuming prepared foods, dairy- and wheat products for years, we are physically addicted to beta-carbolines and opioid peptides. These substances stimulate appetite even when your body disposes of sufficient energy. Just think of passing by a bakery, and how you always suddenly feel hungry.
And if you start eating when your glycogen depots are still full, redundant glucose and amino acids have to be stored in adipose tissue. But…..;
Adipose tissue can only contain 1 glycerol molecule together with 3 fatty acids. And sugars are not directly converted into fatty acids, nor 67% of amino acids. Only when the liver glycogen depot is full, is glucose converted into fatty acids.
Therefore, without extra fatty acids in the blood, only some of the excessive amino acids, and no excessive glucose can be stored in adipose tissue. The extra glucose needs to be stored as liver glycogen first, stimulated by increased insulin levels. Consuming sufficient dietary fats at all times therefore prevents great insulin spikes, and thus diabetes.
In the first stage of diabetes, excessive insulin is secreted, and excessive protein and glucose is excreted through urinating. When blood-glucose- and blood-amino acid levels remain high, insulin secretion keeps being stimulated. Eventually, less insulin is secreted in reaction to glucose stimulus, to prevent insulin excess, causing insulin tolerance, and diabetes.
To prevent diabetes you should not consume any kind of food when your body doesn't need the energy.
How do I know whether my body needs the energy ?
You have to learn the difference between appetite and a low energy level. Once you start focusing on the differences, you will get to know.
The best solution is to carry some fruits (like nuts and raisins) with you all the time. If your energy level is low, every piece of fruit seems very attractive. If your addiction to beta-carbolines or opioid peptides stimulates appetite, it is not the fruit you want to eat. So when you don't feel like eating fruit, your body does not need the energy.
But some dietists say fruit-sugars can cause diabetes.......
Dietists
Fresh fruits (and fresh juices) contain far less sugars*** than bread, pasta, pizza and grains and beans in general. And the latter also contain appetite enhancers that make you eat too much at once, which is the real cause of diabetes.

Consuming sugars can never cause diabetes as long as your body needs the energy at that moment. It will utilize the sugars for energy, and if will store energy in the liver and the muscles, making you feel energetic. But if you consume large meals, relatively less energy is used for replenishing lost energy, and a greater percentage of the ingested energy stimulates insulin release.
Dieticians don’t only tell you to decrease sugar consumption, but to decrease fat consumption too, whereas fat is protective.
The key to diabetes prevention is consuming very small meals very frequently, so that more energy goes into direct energy replenishment, and consuming sufficient fat with every meal.
What to do ?
- Make sure to keep the blood sugar level stabilized constantly
Constantly ingest enough energy to prevent a drop in the blood sugar level and consume sufficient fat with every meal. So, make sure to always have some fruits, dried fruits or juices, plus some raw nuts ready for consumption.
- Consume as little prepared food. (proteinacous prepared food in particular) Consume as much fruits as you can, and food containing sufficient fat, like raw Brazil nuts, avocado and sashimi. Be sure to top your salads with sufficient cold pressed olive oil. And when you feel hungry ; do the fruit-test: if you don't feel like eating fruit, you don't need the energy.
- Do also not (or hardly) consume any dairy- or wheat products ;
Wheat- (3) and milk-opioid peptides (4), and other peptides (5),
hormones and growth factors (6) in milk, increase insulin secretion /
insulin-producing cells. Consuming milk increases diabetes risk. (7)
In countries like Sweden, Finland and the Netherlands, where most milk is consumed, type 1 diabetes incidence is highest. (8) Feeding infants formula milk instead of mother's milk also increases diabetes risk. (9)
- Start using condoms instead of oral contraceptives ; Oral contraceptive use increases cortisol level, increasing transformation of tryptophan into
xanthurenic acid. (10) Xanthurenic acid easily binds to insulin,
increasing insulin release, which can eventually cause diabetes. (11)
