In a recent Raw Family Victoria wrote...."Regularly adding green smoothies to a diabetic's diet can definitely decrease the amount of insulin injections needed, which is very important. For some diabetics, reversing diabetes might not be possible, still, reducing the amount of injections is certainly desirable, and minimizes the side effects caused by insulin injections.
From our experience diabetics that have reduced their insulin were able to drink green smoothies prepared with fruit. There is a very important difference between ripe, organic fruit and unripe, nonorganic fruit. I would not recommend unripe nonorganic fruit to anyone, especially diabetics. I have heard from several hundred people, including diabetics as well as people with candida, that they also observe that ripe organic fruit is beneficial for their health. For this reason, I make a special effort to buy vine-ripe, organic fruit whenever possible. I go to U-Pick farms in the summer. At the farmers' market, I purchase the ripest fruit, which is often cracked, bruised, doesn't look perfect and is reduced in price. Such fruit often attracts fruit flies, which is a good sign. If you never see fruit flies in your kitchen, it may indicate that the fruit you are consuming is not ripe and organic.
Tip: To catch fruit flies, place a bottle with half an inch of apple cider vinegar on the bottom. After most of the fruit flies enter the bottle, close it and take it to your compost pile, then release them".
