Anyone tried juice-fasting to bring sugar readings down?

[QUOTE="Petecavo, post: 2354397, member: 426326"] Anything that you actually stick to that succeeds in losing excess weight longer term tends to help a type 2 (which I am also) - HOWEVER - by juicing your food I understand it allows the food to release its sugars easier. It is just another form of 'processing' but in this case you doing the 'processing' yourself rather than a food company. This tends to lower the Glycaemic Index of the food and can put you at risk of blood spikes soon after and maybe hunger pangs later. At the moment I am having success by using a Google spread sheet , and recording the Calories Carbs and (because I am a kidney transplant patient) the protein I consume on each meal. It totals each meal, then totals the day consumption and the shows me a weekly average against my targets I have set. I am simply limiting my Calories to 1200 cals per day - My carbs to 90 per day and my Protein to 80grms daily. And yes I do go over these a bit - hence why I set my targets low. Despite this since Oct 7th 2020 to today 12th Jan 2021 I have dropped from 92.7 kg's down to 85kgs (I am a 6'2" male) My blood sugar control has dramatically improved (78 down to 63) and my kidney function has also improved. I am now at 24 BMI and plan to continue to a BMI at the lower end of the 'healthy range' aiming for 20 BMI at the moment in an attempt to regain control. Best of all I have managed to ditch almost all medication with no Metformin anymore and virtually no Glic, (almost being that I have had 20mg once or twice a week if I have cheated at bit more than intended) This is despite being a diabetic for almost 20 years Lastly I had previously tried juicing and just couldn't stick at it.
