So perhaps I am a work in progress, I do some testing, just urine and they
are reading clear at the moment when in the past they have not.

Peter, by the time you're spilling sufficient glucose into your urine to
measure, you're also leaking glucose into your eyes.

You have just epitomised one of the things that I despise about this whole
issue. Fear and hysteria. I am not afraid of dying at all, but I dammed
afraid of not living. This thing becomes a juggernaught of stupendous
proportions that invades and consumes all in its path. There is need for a
balance and I never see that, never.

I don't have a fear of dying either. I do have a fear of living blind,
on dialysis, half a person due to stroke or with my feet or even legs
lopped off due to non-healing ulcers. These are all *preventable*
complications of diabetes - *IF* we control the disease with eating
right, exercising and using our medications.

Peter........ look up the glycemic index of "juice" over the glycemic index
of each fruit/veggie that you make your juice out of

then look at how much juice you can drink versus how much fruit you can have

for me it's a choice of volume (the whole product) versus lack of volume
(the juice)

this is not fear and hysteria...... it's a matter of choice

ps...... do you test your bg levels 1 hour after your juice to see what
impact the juice has for you???....... check the Joslin web site for
'recommended bg levels'

take care

Since we can use juice to treat a hypo, then retest in 15 minutes, 15
minutes is when I would test for the juice.

If you are not afraid of dying, just keep doing what you are doing.
But, don't forget to make your will.
