Hi there I am new to the forum.

I have type 2 diabetes and hypertension which is being treated by oral medication.
I am interested in juicing but was told that it is not necessarily beneficial for me, and if doing so only use one fruit at a time. Does anyone had any difficulty with juicing?

Hi @arenovic58 . If I were you I'd stay off fruit juices. They are almost pure sugar and no good to us. That is, if you mean fruits like apples, oranges and other sweet stuff. Fruits like peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes are better.

I think @Brunneria has some experience of smoothies? Could be an alternative to juicing?

As with everything it will depend what you decide to juice. As stated above if you juice the wrong things it will raise your BS.

Welcome, I'm also a newby, diagnosed on 18th Dec with T2D... All a little overwhelmed... Some useful info on here look up LCHF, which appears to be a reoccurring theme...

Good luck
