When I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago, fruit juice was one of the things that I was distraught about giving up, however I've found that I can still enjoy fruit juices - but in much smaller quantities. For instance a 50ml measure topped up to 250ml with mineral or soda water as a tall, slow drink still allows me to feel like I've had some 'healthy' vitamin C. The fruit taste is still there and the sugar hit doesn't seem noticeable - don't know if I should be doing it, but it works for me!
Everything at the moment is a learning curve for me, so discovering I could do this was a great boost!
Pomegranate juice has the same amount of sugar as coke does. So if you wouldn't drink a can of coke, don't drink the pomegranate. Or dilute it heavily.

Pom Wonderful is available in the fresh juice section of many supermarkets and is 100% pure pomegranate juice. It's quite expensive but very nice - I find that I just have a little and dilute it with filtered water or sparkling water for the occasional treat. Here is a link to the full nutritional data for it http://www.pomwonderful.co.uk/nutrition ... ate-juice/
But in a nutshell 16g Carbs (14g sugars) per 100ml (64 kcal).
