You know what, ignore my previous post. I just realised that the simple sugar in fruits, Fructose, does not even stimulate an insulin response! However large amounts of fructose, compared to sucrose (table sugar), such as in fruit juices correlates strongly with hypertension, high blood pressure, high Triglicyerides and lipogenesis. Thats why it's never advisable to drink lots of fruit juice, and if your home made juices are largely fruit, it's the same risks. Again, be careful.
@HomeMadeSixPack Wrong! Diabetes education 101, if the word ends in -ose=it's a "sugar". Fructose will most definitely cause an increas in blood sugar/glucose which will cause your body to produce insulin. If you have type one diabetes and your body doesn't make insulin you need to inject it or wear a pump period!
Thanks for the information. To be honest I have always thought that fructose must affect insulin, but then in order to do some research I watched "Sugar: The bitter truth" on youtube by Richard Lustig where at about 57:50 minutes in he says 'Fructose does not stimulate Insulin'. More confused than ever I'll admit.
I'm looking at the title of one of your videos right now and it says-"day 1-juice fast-quest for a cure for diabetes...You should know by now that NOTHING will cure you of type one diabetes. Don't listen to the "natural/alternative/jesus numbskulls! They may mean well but they don't know what they are talking about period!
If you will read my profile on any of my videos you will find the following:
"Now I know that we probably won't find a "cure" per se, but anything that will give me a decrease in my insulin usage, better control of my blood sugars, more energy, and a longer life, that is something worth pursuing."
What you are doing will not cure you of type one diabetes. You are misinformed as I've heard you say things that are just plain inaccurate on your other videos. Please see a diabetes nurse educator and dietician ASAP!
Alright Chris, continue to use your best judgement as I know you do! Also remember that the Glycemic Index of fruits and vegetables is calculated from their whole content, with their fibre included. As you're juicing, the GI of the product of the non fibrous juice is going to be much much higher. Youve managed your diabetes for long enough to judge how it's affecting you. If you ever notice you're tired, or sluggish after a juice, your insulin levels are being affected. Keep an eye on it please!
Normally I would agree with you because that has been my experience in the past (because I was accompanying it with fat and grease). What I have found the last six days is that the low glycemic index of fruit and vegetables doesn't spike my bloodsugars. I would agree with you that it may spike it a little more than a blend, but I haven't seen a dramatic difference. Thanks for your support!
Hey Chris! You know you've got my full support here. Juicing removes fibre. That means when the juice hits your digestion, it's absorbed really quickly into your blood stream. If it's too sugary, the normal response is an insulin spike that will drive all the nutrients into muscle and fat storage. Because you're a diabetic, I'm just concerned that you should keep some of the fibre, or maybe not use so much fruit. If the liquid is too sweet, cut back on the fruit a bit. What do you think?
@pedalpetals Thanks for watching. I enjoy good fans that have great taste! Please share these with your friends!

I usually only include 1/2 to 1 fruits per meal, with the majority of my meal being leafy greens and other vegetables. Thanks for your concern!

If people always listened to the doomsdayers of the world, we would never see any progress. Thanks for posting!
