Caleb Murdock said:Fruit and fruit juices have an additional problem that many people have overlooked: they are high in fructose. Fructose (I have been told) does not register on glucose monitors, yet it can cause neuropathy. Thus, your monitor might tell you that your glucose is low, but you'll still have fructose in your blood that is causing problems. That is also why high-fructose corn syrup should be avoided. (I was told all this on another forum. If it is incorrect, someone please tell me.)

Fruit and Juices:
- All fruits (except avocados)
- All juices (including tomato and vegetable juices - except for some people, in a small Bloody Mary)

Fresh OJ is 20 grams of carbs per 200ml glass, "of which" all 20 grams are sugar. 4 teaspoons of sugar in a glass! I have a small (100ml) glass in the morning because I can't survive without it!

irishlass37 said:What about watered down fruit juice..I take a regular oj, half fill the glass, then top up with water, you still taste the oj or juice, but it weakens the overall effect on your body ?
I thought my days of drinking orange juice were over I'll need to give that a tryGrazer said:Yeah, all fruit juices are high in carbs. You can, however, get fruit DRINKS that are great with low Carb/sugar levels. Cordials like Robinsons "no added sugar" (orange, orange and mango) are very low carb, and in Sainsburys you can get No-added-sugar cranberry juice DRINK that is only about 2 grams carbs per 100, compared with fresh or concentrated orange which is about 20.
