A Juicing Diabetes Solution
for Controlling Blood Sugar

What led me to search for juicing diabetes solutions? For many years I have had symptoms of hypoglycemia, which they say is a precursor to diabetes. Read about one friend's failures and successes as she pursues natural means to lower her blood sugar.

Then I watched as a number of close friends started to lose their health because of the disease.

This has motivated me to look for juicing diabetes solutions (solutions centered around juicing items rich in trace minerals).

I believe that medications are not the answer to diabetes. However, a daily routine built around juicing might just be the answer you are looking for for controlling blood sugar naturally.

WHICH JUICING ITEMS ARE BEST?

Vegetable juice is full of enzymes and antioxidants, and a good start is to drink one to two pints of fresh vegetable juice a day, especially if you are diabetic.

Once you have started juicing, you can start to incorporate a special group of juicing items that can be especially helpful for lowering blood sugar.

Next, I have developed a facts sheet which lists numerous ways to help type 2 diabetics normalize their blood sugar naturally.

CREATING A JUICING DIABETES ROUTINE

Over 7 or 8 years I have created a daily routine for myself which I believe may help to control blood sugar and weight without feelings of hunger. Since it centers around juicing, I will refer to this routine as a “juicing diabetes solution”.

As I have gradually put this routine into practice, I have lost 35 pounds and am just 10 pounds away from my target weight.

I feel healthy, and a number of health problems have disappeared, including lower back pain, pain in my knees, pain in my wrists, and athlete’s foot. My immune system has become strong.

My night vision and reading vision have improved, and at age 54, and I am full of energy. This juicing diabetes solution I am sharing with you definitely can result in improved health, even for those without diabetes.

My Daily Routine

First thing in the morning, I take the following wonderful supplements (excellent for diabetics) with a glass of water:

• One Krill Oil capsule
• One Ubiquinol capsule
• One probiotic capsule

Then I Drink a little raw milk

Vegetable juice
Next, I thin down 7 ounces of vegetable juice with water. When we made the juice the night before we added in these ingredients: 

• Real Sea Salt (rich in all 74 sea minerals)
  
  
• Sea Minerals (an excellent source of magnesium and trace minerals)
  
  
• Chlorella (the best thing I have found to detox heavy metals like mercury)
  
  
• Flax hull lignans (known for helping to lower blood sugar)
  
  
• I then pull apart 2 Ocean Treasure sea vegetable capsules (I know of no better vitamin and mineral supplement on the market) and add the contents to the juice (some may prefer this to swallowing 2 capsules)

Next I take a whisk and mix it well (I don't like lumpies), and drink it.

Third, I eat a banana. Between the vegetable juice and the banana I feel quite satisfied until mid-morning.

Sometime around 11 a.m. I get a piece of bread that we made from freshly milled wheat, spread a good coating of virgin coconut oil on it, and eat it. Sometimes I also have an egg or two with this. (So far, does this juicing diabetes routine sound workable?)

I get my coconut oil from Tropical Traditions.

Mid-afternoon I drink another 7 ounces of juice (thinned with water), and sometimes eat another piece of our special bread with coconut oil, tuna or cheese on it. This keeps me satisfied till my wife calls me for supper.

For supper, I start with another 7 ounces of juice, thinned with water. This way I don’t feel like eating as much supper, plus it provides enzymes to help with digestion. 

Supper consists of meat and veggies, and sometimes a sweet potato or a small amount of white potato. Yes, I follow a low carb diet, not a no carb diet. (For diabetics, it is best to at least limit your carbs to 400 calories a day)

Later that evening I might have another 7 ounces of juice, plus some raw nuts (I love cracking open a few pecans, walnuts or almonds as a snack). Sometimes we have a little popcorn, or eat a bit more of supper leftovers, which are still on the stove.

Avoid Empty Carbs

It is very important to make a distinction between carbs loaded with nutrition and empty carbs. To follow a juicing diabetes lifestyle, carbs should be:

• Brown rice instead of white rice
  
  
• Sweet potatoes in place of white potatoes
  
  
• Foods made from freshly milled flour as opposed to pretty much all bread products bought at the grocery store

If you really want your vegetables loaded with nutrients, nothing can beat juicing vegetables that you grow in your own garden, fertilized with a good trace mineral fertilizer, like sea minerals.

The great thing about my juicing diabetes routine is that I don’t feel hungry, plus I am continuing to slowly lose weight. Sadly (sigh) we do eat out a number of times a week, plus quite often I eat for the pleasure of eating. If not, the weight would come off faster.

For Even Better Results

If you want to work more intensely to lower your blood sugar or lose weight, then you need to consider eating even fewer carbs than in my routine (i.e. cut out the banana, the bread, the popcorn or the sweet potato, and definitely fast food restaurants :-).

To go all out, totally eliminate foods containing flour or sugar, plus don’t eat many root vegetables like turnips, beets and carrots, as these are also higher in sugar. Focus on drinking at least a quart of juice a day.

The Perfect diabetic Diet

In a wonderful, though lengthy article by Ron Rosedale, M.D., type 2 diabetes is thoroughly explained as actually an insulin sensitivity disease.

In his article, Dr. Rosedale recommends that:

• 20 percent of calories should come from vegetables, and depending on the size of the person
• 25 percent to 30 percent of calories should come from protein
• 60 percent to 65 percent should come from fat, especially from raw nuts

These percentages help us to get a perspective on what a perfect diet might be for a diabetic. On this diet, one’s body relearns how to utilize fat as its energy source, not carbs.

Its all about Insulin Resistance

In his article, Dr. Rosedale says that controlling blood sugar is only a side function of insulin. Insulin’s primary function is to store carbohydrate energy (sugars and carbs) as fat for later use.

This is why it is so hard for a diabetic to lose weight. If a person has type 2 diabetes, their body is insulin resistant, therefore their insulin levels are of necessity quite high, as their body attempts to bring their blood sugar down.

Adding more insulin is not the answer, but rather aggravates the problem.

I encourage you to read the article by Dr. Rosedale all the way to the end. It will open your eyes, and hopefully give you a better understanding of why a juicing diabetes solution works so well in returning blood sugar to normal levels without the help of drugs.

In Conclusion

The place to start to lower insulin and leptin sensitivity with juicing diabetes solutions, with the wonderful side effect of bringing blood sugar back to normal, is as follows:

1. Exercise. Strength training immediately lowers insulin resistance in the targeted muscles.
   
   
2. Drink one to two pints of vegetable juice a day, and consider adding these items to your juice.
   
   
3. Work to eliminate sugars, plus other carbs like white potatoes, white rice, pastas, alcohol, and food made from white flour.
   
   
4. Eat foods rich in protein (for tissue building, maintenance and repair), and saturated and polyunsaturated fats for energy.
   
   . . a. Fish, grass fed beef and lamb, unpasteurized dairy
    . .  . products, free-range chickens and their eggs.
   . . b. Avocado, raw seeds and nuts (especially walnuts, 
    . . . .almonds, macadamia nuts and pecans).
   . . c. Olives and olive oil, coconut and coconut oil, palm oil, 
    . . . .krill oil, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, butter, peanuts 
    . . . .and natural peanut butter.
