type 2 diabetes
on: June 29, 2013, 18:18

I need to find out if anyone knows if juicing can have an adverse effect on being a type 2 diabetic. I take 50 units of insulin a day and my average blood sugar is 130. I just had an incident 2 weeks ago where I woke up at 1:30 am in a sweat and very disoriented. I took by blood sugar and it was 32. I was able to get some sugar in me and I got stable in a few minutes. I do not want to start a juice fast and have the same problem. Anyone have any suggestions or answers to my concern?

Ml2go, thanks for your comment. You have to be extra careful when doing a juice fast.

First of all, before you decide to do a juice fast you should consult with you doctor. It’s important to not only get advice but to also discuss how to adjust any medications while on the juice fast. If you do juice, you should aim for a maximum of 1 fruit per juice. You should also include more protein in your juices and drink at least 64 ounces of water each day.

More protein is better for you, you could even add a pure unflavored protein isolate to your drinks. Just make sure you aren't over doing it on the fruits. Also, Carrots and tomatoes have a good amount of sugar so be careful of them too. I'll be here if you have anymore questions.

"Willpower is essential to the accomplishment of anything worthwhile." Keep this in mind while on your fast!

I was 212 lbs before I started juicing, today I am 185 lbs and feel better than I did 10 years ago!

I started on Sunday and this morning I had lost over 3 lbs. I check my sugars 2-3 times a day. I was 82 when I took them this morning. That is a great # but I also took 10 units less of insulin last night. I feel great on the juice and I am committed to Juicing to give me a new quality of life at 70! Do you recommend that I eat some pure protein such as Chicken, Turkey, Fish with my regiment of juice on this 7 day fast?

Ml2go, sounds like you are doing great! No need to add anymore protein as long as you watch your levels. Just ensure that you are at a healthy level and continue doing what your doing.
