I'm diabetic so I can see the immediate effect of juices on my blood sugar. I've also done a juice fast/feast and had to find low-sugar juices to consume.
Carrots are only low glycemic when you eat them with the fiber. When juiced they (to me) are medium-high in sugar. Same with beets.
I found the best thing to do was make the base of my juice with Celery, Tomato, Zucchini, or Cucumber (wh

Just dropping a note here to say that I'm on Day 4 of the juice feast and everything is good. I have been able to reduce my insulin because of the low calorie intake, but still need to use a bit. Long-term insulin is at about 40% of normal, and for fast-acting insulin I dose about half the regular amount for any carbohydrates in my juices. Definitely seems safe for a Type 1 diabetic to do.

Hi Claire,
I'm a Type I diabetic like you, and I've been looking for ways to heal myself for the last few years. You may be interested in the book There is a Cure for Diabetes, recently released. The book describes a 'juice feasting' program followed by a low-glycemic live food diet, that has reportedly helped a few Type I diabetics.
I'm on day 1 of my juice feast and so far I'm seeing very

Good posts, FirstGarden.
People who quote Genesis 1:29 and such must also realize that when Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, the rules changed. Plants apparently changed to be less ideal than they were in the Garden of Eden:
Genesis 3:18
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Genesis 3:19

Hello sueko,
I'm a Type 1 Diabetic so I'm in a bit of a different boat than you are, and I won't pretend to know know anything about the day-to-day management of Type 2 Diabetes.
I haven't been able to cure my Type 1 diabetes, but I have definately heard that Type 2 diabetics have had VERY high success with healthy diets centering around veganism and raw veganism.
I know a lady who was T

Hi armadillo,
During the honeymoon period I dropped down to 114 pounds (from around 136 or so). When the honeymoon period was ending, I noticed more and more symptoms of high blood sugar.. for me it was feeling increasing thirst, foggy head, and weak feeling facial muscles. I also didn't have as much energy/vigor as usual. It's important to keep testing blood sugar, something which I had stopp

Happened to me a while ago with a mandoline. Now I know to use the little plastic protective 'holder' that comes with it. Went into shock for a minute or two and couldn't hear anything anyone was saying to me. Their voices sounded like robots. Was pretty cool actually (other than having my finger out-of-order for a while after that). :-P

Oh, and in the case it was unclear, I currently do take insulin shots (Regular and NPH twice a day each) but am hoping to minimize them while still getting adequate calories, nutrients, and stable blood sugars.

Hello armadillo,
I'm 19 years old and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 1.5 years ago. Sorry to hear that your daughter has been diagnosed with it - this disease definately isn't pleasant for anyone involved! I'll tell you about what I'm doing with regards to Diabetes, and perhaps you will find a helpful tidbit of info here or there!
I've been experimenting with various forms of raw and ve
