It can't be explained here because it's wrong. People with Type I are born with or later develop an inability to produce insulin. It may be physical (the removal of a pancreas) or an autoimmune condition can destroy the beta cells, or they were born without functioning beta cells. Type II is a disease of poor nutrition, and is absolutely reversible through diet, exercise and/or fasting. Type I is a physical inability to produce insulin. Fruits won't solve that.
