    ❓FAQ

    What are the best juices for diabetics?

    The best juices for people living with diabetes are those with low sugar content, as drinking fruit juice can affect blood sugar levels. That's why it is good to use only vegetables and use other ingredients such as ginger root and lemon juice to enhance their flavor, balancing the vegetable's flavor with acidity.
    Also, ginger has anti-diabetic-promoting properties (source), which makes it a great natural product to add to a low-sugar diet.

    How to make a juice that is good for diabetics?

    As a rule of thumb, try to avoid fruit juices, like freshly squeezed orange juice, because they concentrate lots of sugar in a serving, contributing to high blood sugar levels.
    People with diabetes need to avoid blood sugar spikes and aim for blood sugar regulation.
    Check the green cabbage and red cabbage juice for excellent low-sugar juice options.

    Does vegetable juice raise blood sugar?

    Most vegetable juices are low in sugar; this recipe only contains 2 grams of sugars and 6 grams of carbohydrates.
    Aim for vegetables with low-glycemic indexes like spinach and celery, and combine them with carrot juice, which has just the right amount of sweetness to make the drink pleasant.

    Is apple juice good for diabetes?

    Unfortunately, apple juice has a lot of sugar and can raise blood glucose levels. An exception will be if the person is facing hypoglycemia, in which case apple juice or orange juice can help raise blood sugar levels.

    🥒 Best juice for diabetics

    There are certain exceptions with fruit juices, like bitter melon juice and pomegranate juice.

    A study showed that pomegranate juice might benefit people with diabetes because the natural sugar it contains is attached to antioxidants. This means that it does not cause blood sugar to spike. This feature may help decrease insulin resistance and lower blood sugar.

    Another great option with only 7 grams carbohydrate and 4 grams sugar is strawberry juice, which is easily made at home using just strawberries, lemon, and water. You only need a blender (affiliate link) to make it.

    What can diabetics drink besides water?

    When managing blood sugar, you need to avoid sugary drinks, drinking alcohol, drinks with added sugar, or energy drinks, as that can play a big role in raising blood sugar levels.

    Aim for drinks like sparkling water, green tea, pineapple water, lemon water, and unsweetened tea.

    If you are diabetic, juicing is a great way to get your body's nutrients. The best vegetable juice for diabetics is one that is low in sugar and high in fiber. In addition to juicing, it’s important to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Start feeling better today by incorporating juicing into your diabetes management plan.

    Another excellent drink for people with diabetes is this low-sugar, high-fiber smoothie, made with apples, cabbage, and carrots, and it is also great for treating constipation.

        Hey David, we are happy you guys liked our site, and we will definitely have you guys in mind when developing our recipes. I actually come from a background of 13 years working in the Diabetes space, specifically in blog glucose monitoring systems and education. Also, most of the elders in my family live with Diabetes, so most of our recipes consider it.
        I recommend you guys check out our Recipe Filter tool, which allows you to filter our recipes by diet (i.e. Low Carb, Refined-sugar free). Also, check out the Nutrition facts on each recipe!.
        Hope to see you around soon and happy juicing! 🙂

      Hola! Soy diabética tipo 2, queria preguntarte si puedo prepararme jugos con un extractor de prensado en frío que deja la fibra aparte, si esto me perjudica, gracias!

        Hola Silvia, lo más importante es prestarle atención a la cantidad de azúcar que tiene el jugo. Si bien la fibra es un factor importante para tener más sensación de saciedad, no es lo que define si es o no apto para una persona con diabetes. Te recomendamos siempre que hagas jugos, utilizar una proporción elevada (75% o más) de vegetales y una porción mínima de frutas, que son las que aportan más azúcar el jugo. Es importante medir la cantidad de carbohidratos que tiene el jugo y evaluarlo versus la cantidad que te ha recomendado tu médico para el momento en el día en que lo estás consumiendo. Este jugo tiene solo 6 gramos de carbohidratos lo cual es una cantidad ínfima de azúcares que no debería tener una repercusión importante en tus niveles de azúcares. Saludos!
