What actually is diabetes? How is it caused?   What’s the difference between type 1 and type 2, and is sugar or fat to blame? Robby Barbaro and Cyrus Khambatta answer these questions and more during our chat today.   Both were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and manage it with a low fat, whole food, plant-based diet.   They’ve teamed up to create Mastering Diabetes, a coaching program to help others feel their best while managing their symptoms.   They even tried to help our audio engineer, Michael, move away from his meat-heavy diet! Get out your keyboard–you’re going to want to take notes during this fun yet informative conversation.   What we discuss in this episode:   - Defining the 5 types of diabetes.   - The difference between natural and refined sugar.   - How a plant-based diet can reverse prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.   - Robby and Cyrus’ low fat, plant-based whole food philosophy.   - How to eat for longevity and to lower your risk for chronic disease.   - Recommended reading: 80/10/10 Diet by
