Hi i have being type 2 diabetis for 2 years, i take 3 metamorfin in the morning and 3 at night, plus high blood pressure tablets. Recently i have i aquiered a craving for tomato juice 1 drink 1 litre a day sometimes more but are worried this too much but an american diabetis web site says its fine and its acualy good for me do you agree? Sometimes i have got the carton of juice open before i take my jacket off when i come home which worries me slightly the craveing is so strong, could you advise please? I KNOW THIS MIGHT SOUND A BIT SILLY thanks
 
Tomato juice - 4g carb per 100 ml - 40g carb per litre.

I don't know any reason why it should hurt you - it's not like carrot juice, which I think can do damage in excess. It also contains lycopene ('scuse the spelling) which I believe is good for your eyes.

You could google it and see if anything comes up. Someone else may come along on here soon who knows more than I do.

I hope you don't mix it with an equal quantity of vodka :shock: :lol:

Hiya, no not silly at all, tomato juice is great for the cardiovascular system and lower in natural sugars than the concentrated fruit juices, as with all things best in reasonal moderation and not go too excessive with it. I like it as it does taste brill to me but then again I do love tomatoes anyway! Hope this helps? Anna.x
