- Choose fresh fruits, not overripe (overripe fruits are often more sugary).
- Do not add condensed milk, sugar, honey or sweeteners to the juice. If you like sweetness, you can add a few slices of green apple or cucumber.
- Limit filtering to remove residue because fiber plays a role in slowing down sugar absorption.
- Should drink 1-2 hours after meals to reduce the risk of increased blood sugar, do not drink before bed or when hungry.
- Dilute with filtered water to reduce natural sugar levels.
- Do not drink more than 150ml/time, only use 1 small glass per day and drink in sips to allow sugar to be absorbed gradually.
- Drink immediately after pressing, avoid leaving it for a long time, which can easily cause loss of natural nutrients in fruits.
- You should add spinach, celery, carrots, bitter melon,... to the juice to reduce blood sugar levels and increase nutrients for drinks.
- You should use homemade juice to ensure there is no sugar, additives, or preservatives.
- Monitor blood sugar after drinking to assess the body's reaction.
Although fruit juice brings health benefits, diabetic patients should not abuse juice instead of main meals or use it as a refreshing drink during the day. Patients should consult a specialist doctor to choose a type of fruit juice for diabetics before adding it to their daily menu.
