can diabetic patient drink sugarcane juice - #23770
I am really confused about my diet since I was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago. My doctor told me to watch my sugar intake closely, but I keep hearing about how sugarcane juice is popular in certain places, and I'm not sure if I can have it or not. I mean, growing up, I had it all the time, and it was refreshing, but now that I’m managing diabetes, it feels like everything is off-limits!!! Last week, at a family gathering, someone brought fresh sugarcane juice and everyone was raving about it. I took a little sip, just to remember how it tastes, and it felt kinda nostalgic. But then I started worrying — can diabetic patient drink sugarcane juice? Is it as bad as regular juice, or is there something different about it? I mean, it’s natural, right? I tried looking up how much sugar is in it, but the info seems all over the place. Plus, do I have to consider how it might spike my blood sugar after? I don’t really want to test my blood sugar every time I have a tiny bit of something sweet. Can anyone help me understand a little more?
