For better results raw fruits and vegetables are great. I have seen diabetes reverse in my mother's case.
Edit: The geniuses downvoting should explain the reason.
I am OK with people downvoting as long as they reason it out. Here in HN, people are not willing to accept that changing food habits can reverse most lifestyle disease.
There are two types - Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1, where pancreas do not produce enough insulin, is not reversible as per current understanding. Type 2 is reversible, at least up to a point (maybe, a few decades).
>>For some it's linked to obesity and such, but others have a perfectly healthy body weight and still have diabetes.
Yes, this is true. Cells become inefficient in processing sugars and blood glucose levels may spike. This can happen in lean people and obese.
What exactly does this mean?
Oils are bad. They are especially bad after heat is applied to them.
Oversimplified blanket statements are bad.
