Fruit/Vegetable juice...
I was diagn. adult onset diabetic last year, I have been using a combo
of fruit and vegetable juice each morning, made fresh and including the skins ... carrot, celery, ginger, apple, pineapple and seasonal bits and pieces. I find it effective/ What do others think and what is the experience. Peter Watson |

It would effectively spike me over 10 (180) at around an hour after I drank it. I found that all juices spike me - morning, noon or night. Additionally you lose a lot of fibre when you juice. What are your Bgs like an hour after breakfast? Are you on diet and exercise only, or are you using medication and/or insulin? Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.

It is a fruit and vegetable combo, but I think there is more vegetable than fruit. Nutritionally speaking, I see no need for juice. Better to eat the whole fruit or veggie. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |

Any changes you have made may be moot because you are not in contact with your Dr. and you do not test your BG. You could be getting diabetic complications right now and you wouldn't even know it. Also, fiber does not stay in the juice. Certainly there is proof! Have you ever read a nutritional label. And juice isn't as filling as the whole fruit. -- See my webpage: http://mysite.verizon.net/juliebove/index.htm |

Peter, without testing, you have no idea what your concoctions are doing to you. I really hope you're getting your annual diabetic eye checks done, because that's what you're likely doing damage to, swiftly followed by your kidneys.

If you truly are T2, are not testing and not following a prescribed diet, and not getting adequate exercise, you are at high risk for kidney disease, cardiovascular disease , blindness, neuropathy resulting in non-healing ulcers and loss of toes, feet and/or legs, to name just a few complications. Anyone with diabetes who doesn't monitor the progress of the condition closely deserves the complications, IMHO! (Those who monitor closely, eat correctly and exercise but still develop the complications, *don't* deserve them!) Personally, I don't think you know what the hell you're talking about and that you're a menace to diabetics! Sherry |

being you make no mention of how many carbs are in the drink
or your serving size I would feel kind of foolish to say it would spike me. I do like to include a fast acting carb in all my meals like fruit and veggies. I do have juice but prefer the fiber in fruits. What do I think? well I prefer fruit but do have juice from time to time. I usually bring a juice with me when I go to the doctor to drink right after I have my blood taken. but I don't believe in any special kinds of diets. just eating as healthy as my will power will allow me. I would go with the whole fruit. Tom -- Information you can trust from the diabetes experts...

I thought that this small change in lifestyle wasn't going to be that hard to do, right? WRONG! I have since found out that I was in the honeymoon period that is referred to now and then on the alt.support.diabetes list. After that first year it became harder and harder to maintain any reading under 10.0 (180mg/dl) let alone 7.0 (which I have since learned is still much too high). Even if I hadn't been testing regularly I would have known that something wasn't right because I started feeling like %$#@. and because I go for regular Hba1c tests I learned that my BG levels were rising although I was eating healthy. So you may think that your juicing is doing you good but I am afraid that it isn't going to last and you may be doing irreversible harm to your kidneys by not keeping in touch with your doctor. Thankfully I have received very good advice on the a.s.d list and I am slowly getting my BG readings back down but still need to get them down more and it's not easy. eClare |

I have been diagnosed now for two years, I do not feal like shit, I in fact am (apparently) healthy and live a very active and full life. I should perhaps catagorise a bit, I do eat a very low carb diet, I watch everything that I eat, I don't drink, don't smoke, swim 3 times a week and bike ride another. I am very very careful. So I do listen and pay attention to all that is said. What I would like to explore is 'other' attitudes and regimes. For example there is a suggestion that T2 can manifest as 'hysterical' diabetes, so I wonder what the importance of stress is to diabetes. I also think that there is a place in the whole debate for 'alternative' therapies and yet one never heras about them. My research has shown that juice has played a part in the treatment of diabetes in the past. 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. Good luck with your health and happiness. Peter Watson |

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. Sherry |
