Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment Care

Question by singlewhitemalekc70: Is it possible to get diabetes from eating too much natural fruit?
I have been drinking 100% natural frozen orange juice concentrate for several years now. I always thought this was a very healthy thing to do(relative to a soda pop addiction I still believe it is) but from an overall health standpoint and articles on Dr. Mercolas website, drinking concentrated fruit juices is not all that healthy since it causes spikes in blood sugar levels. So i have given up frozen concentrate juices and replaced them with plain old fruit to satisy my sugar cravings. Im eating watermelon constantly throughout the day. I’ve been doing this for a couple months now. Well, I just read in Trivia’s Vitajournal that “the average person should eat no more than 32 grams of sugar per day.” The article then goes on to show that a large apple has 22 grams of sugar. So according to this article if I eat 2 large apples a day Im eating too much sugar. Is it possible to get diabetes by eating too much all natural God given fruit such as apples and watermelon?

Answer by Patrick S
HIGHLY unlikely. It’s typically happens in cases where patients have had the disease 15+ years and have recieved little to no treatment for the Diabetes.

Other posters have suggested that the liklihood is much greater if you do not monitor or attempt to control the Diabetes. Yes, it’s possible, but again, unlikely considering the amount of danger and serious side effects associated with allowing retinopathy to occur at the rate the question suggests (a 16-18 year old).
