Message: <blockquote data-quote="CliveG" data-source="post: 52755" data-attributes="member: 14691">Avoid all pure juices innocents or not. I've been advised a very small glass (the size restaurants used to serve when you could get orange juice as a starter back in the 70's, ie about a double shot glass) is permissible now and again but probably not daily (and not concentrates). (If you need a juice drink Tesco do a cranberry juice drink with a very low sugar content but uses sweeteners, it may be a good trade off for you, but again don't drink daily)As for this amazing non testing advice...some health professionals have suggested that regular testing can contribute to frustration/stress which can elevate blood levels and advocate that your regular 2-3 monthly medical test count should be the gauge for setting interventions.Personally I have experienced lots of frustration and stress getting my self-test results down over the last year but the test helped me to feel more in control and helped me with recognising some foodstuffs that don't work for me.I'd say, insist on a self test kit and get testing....</blockquote>
