Hi all,
Starting to read some positives about this. Only ever eat berries for fruit intake now and the very occasional apple. Am pre-Diabetic working hard to stay the right side of the line.
Have bought Tart Cherry Juice with idea of drinking 100ml after each meal. Any thoughts on this appreciated
 
The only answer to this is how it affects you personally - so use your meter and test before and 2hrs after a meal. Does it contain sugar or one of the less desirable artificial sweeteners, which might be low cal, but not low carb?

I know, from cherry season this summer, I can just about get away with half a small punnet after a meal. But definitely not the same amount on its own, for lunch. In fact, cherries do raise my BG higher than I typically like (but still within 2 points), but it’s a short season and I do dearly love them :cat:

I wouldn't.
 
Well that didn’t go well
5.5 before evening meal of home cooked lamb tagine plus fresh veg. 2 hours later 11.6 frightened myself silly. Had got back to 6.1 before going to bed and 5.2 on waking.
Guess it’s not for me after all....
