It is not easy to manage diabetes. For every diabetic, it is very crucial to be mindful of his/her diet. You never know what may surge up the blood sugar levels. Diabetes is a group of diseases that is results in too much sugar in the blood. According to WHO, the global prevalence of diabetes among adults over 18 years of age has risen from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014.While it is known that refined grains and sugary goods are not recommended in a diabetes diet plan (these foods tend to get metabolised quickly and cause your blood glucose levels to elevate), there is a lot of confusion about drinks. Did you know fruit juices are also not very advisable to include in your diet, especially the ones you find in markets. These juices are low on fibres and high on added sugar.

There are some bitter fruits and veggies that you can juice, which may prove extremely beneficial in your diabetes diet.
