Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
For the last month I have been making and buying green juice two to three times a day. This is either cold pressed or spun high speed. This is changing me. Over all I am eating better, eating smaller portions, and taking way less Humulin-N. Still I am way overweight but I am on the right track. And I have started back at the gym doing aerobics, weights, and stretching in very careful quantities. I feel way better than I did and sleep is better, too, but still troubling. My green juice does not contain fruit and is only 8 carbs per serving.
Don't forget to eat your other veggies as well.
But I am curious, how does juicing adversely affect K.
Here is an article as to why green juicing is not for everyone.

I bought the Breville and ran hard using it for two months. It made a dramatic difference in my weight and reduction in prescription drug use. I joined a gym and did just fine.
Today I drink two glasses of juice daily. I make sure to use green and not fruit or fruit related in any large quantity e.g. carrots.
But you have to want what I have and that means work for it, including exercise (I go to the gym).
