Is fruit juice helpful to lower my blood sugar?
I've always read that fruit juices are a no but it is always best to check with your doctor or dietician. Most fruit juices contain the sugar of several fruits and none of the fiber that you would get from eating the fruit itself. If anything, I would think it could raise your blood sugar. The sugar content of most juice is the same or worse than soda/pop.

Losing the regain! I got this!
Fruit juice is like liquid sugar... even if it is all natural. Fruit (and fruit juice) is high in sugar, but, at least when you eat the whole fruit you are getting some fiber which can help slow the release of sugar a bit. Drinking juice is like a sugar highway.
