Suitable drinks
Pure fruit juice is a good choice for people with diabetes, and it also contains additional nutrients such as fiber.
Dietary fiber can help balance blood sugar and promote gut health. However, the fiber content of fruit juice is still low compared to eating whole fruit.
Just one night of poor sleep can lead to increased insulin resistance as well as changes in hunger and fullness hormones, all of which can lead to higher blood sugar levels.
Drinking tart cherry juice before bed improves both the quality and quantity of sleep for people with insomnia.
If you add this juice to your evening snack, pair it with a lean protein source or healthy fat to help slow down its absorption rate.
Serving size
Portion control is important for everyone, but especially for people with diabetes.
As a general rule, stick to no more than 1/2 cup of 100% fruit juice per day to help maintain your carbohydrate intake goals.
