What are the Best 8 Juice Recipes for Diabetics?

Is juice good for a person suffering from diabetes? I would say yes but conditionally, with the condition being that diabetics shouldn’t drink any juice.  Juices from some vegetables and pomegranate are very beneficial to people suffering from Type 2 diabetes. They contain antioxidants that help protect the weak diabetic body cells from damage and lower the risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke and other chronic diseases related to diabetes. Even if some of these juices have some natural sugar of their own, most have a very low glycemic index and a medium glycemic load, thus have very mild effect on blood sugar levels.
