1. A method of treating diabetes-related symptoms of a patient comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pomegranate composition to a patient to affect at least one diabetes-related symptom, wherein said pomegranate composition is obtained by a process comprising: crushing, squeezing, and enzymatically treating whole fruits of pomegranate including inner and outer peels and seeds to yield a juice component and an insoluble by-product component;separating the juice component from the insoluble by-product component;resuspending the insoluble by-product component in an aqueous medium;crushing, squeezing, and mixing the resuspended by-product component to yield a soluble portion and an insoluble portion;separating the soluble portion from the insoluble portion; andcombining the soluble portion with the juice component to produce the pomegranate composition,wherein said pomegranate composition comprises about 1979 mg/L of tannins, andwherein said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition comprises an amount sufficient to result in anti-atherogenic effects with a significant reduction in oxidative stress in said patient's serum and monocytes-macrophages, as well as in macrophage uptake of Ox-LDL. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises a pre-diabetic symptom. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said therapeutically effective amount is administered daily. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said pomegranate composition comprises about 2500 mg/L polyphenols from pomegranate. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said pomegranate composition comprises a punicalagin content equivalent to about 1561 mg/L. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said pomegranate composition comprises concentrated pomegranate juice diluted 1:5 (v/v) with water. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said pomegranate composition comprises a pomegranate polyphenol fraction. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said pomegranate composition comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing oxidative stress in said patient. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein said affect at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises increasing paraoxonase 1 arylesterase activity of said patient. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing AAPH-induced oxidation in said patient. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing a serum lipid peroxide level in said patient. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level in said patient. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises increasing a serum thiols groups level in said patient. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises inhibiting uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein in said patient. 16. The method of claim 9, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises increasing a serum total sulfhydryl groups content of said patient. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises an atherosclerotic complication in said patient. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing macrophage cholesterol accumulation in said patient. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein administering said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition to said patient to affect said at least one diabetes-related symptom comprises reducing macrophage foam cell formation in said patient. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein diabetic parameters are not worsened by sugars present in said pomegranate composition, said diabetic parameters comprising at least one of a serum blood glucose level, a serum insulin level, a serum hemoglobin (Hb) A1c level and a serum C-peptide level. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein a serum blood glucose level of said patient is reduced. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein a serum insulin level of said patient is reduced. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein a serum C-peptide level of said patient is reduced. 24. A method of treating diabetes-related symptoms of a diabetic patient comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pomegranate composition to a patient to reduce oxidative stress in said diabetic patient, wherein said pomegranate composition is obtained by a process comprising: crushing, squeezing, and enzymatically treating whole fruits of pomegranate including inner and outer peels and seeds to yield a juice component and an insoluble by-product component;separating the juice component from the insoluble by-product component;resuspending the insoluble by-product component in an aqueous medium;crushing, squeezing, and mixing the resuspended by-product component to yield a soluble portion and an insoluble portion;separating the soluble portion from the insoluble portion; andcombining the soluble portion with the juice component to produce the pomegranate composition, wherein said pomegranate composition is diluted 1:5 (v/v) with water,wherein said pomegranate composition comprises about 1979 mg/L of tannins, andwherein said therapeutically effective amount of said pomegranate composition comprises a quantity sufficient to result in anti-atherogenic effects with a significant reduction in oxidative stress in said patient's serum and monocytes-macrophages, as well as in macrophage uptake of Ox-LDL.
