<p>If you eat fruit, and not just drink juices, you get lots of fiber. Offsets some. But, if you eat lots of fruit hopefully you are ACTIVE and burning those carbs. Elsewise you are stressing your pancreas.</p>

<p>From what I undersand. . . Cells don't need insulin to use fructose for energy. The reproduced cells are made without insulin receptors so a sugar dependence occurs but not diabetes. If I'm way off, I apologize but that is how it was explained to me.</p>

<p>Eating carbs doesn't cause diabetes.</p> <p>Edit: Just noticed Mscott beat me to it!</p>

<p>Maybe they die of pancreatic cancer first (Steve Jobs, for example). </p> <p>And maybe they are just not diabetic YET. </p>

<p>Fruitarians don't become diabetic. It's when those who call themselves fruitarians start eating refined carbohydrates they become diabetic. But then they weren't true fruitarians to begin with. </p>

<p>I think this website has the most information about fruitarianism and its health effects. Somewhere in the millions of words there is something that I read that many fruitarians DO have symptoms that mirror diabetes, if they don't actually have diabetes. But probably the biggest takeaway I got from reading this is that most fruitarian leaders cheat on their diet and keep it a secret from their followers.</p> <p><a href="http://www.beyondveg.com/cat/fruit-dreams/index.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.beyondveg.com/cat/fruit-dreams/index.shtml</a></p>

<p>i was a fruitarian for 2 years and my glucose was always fine; however, i definitely was not lean. i had a good layer of fat around all of my muscles. the "reasoning" behind this according to 30bad members was because "i was starving myself on a regular diet so now my body craved more food and thus had to gain weight." well, i got up to 140 lbs eating this way. </p>

<p>I prefer to think of the potential to get diabetes as a loaded gun and excess carbs is just a trigger. Diabetes is much more complicated than carb intake or else many primitive cultures worldwide would be largely diabetic.</p>
