Fruit Juice Drink (1 Cup (8 Fl Oz))

Avoid fruit juice drinks when possible; choose water, sparkling water, or unsweetened tea instead.

If you want fruit, choose a small portion of whole berries, an apple, or an orange rather than juice.

Have fruit alongside protein and fat, such as plain unsweetened Greek yogurt or a small handful of nuts, instead of drinking it alone.

Reduce the serving size: dilute the juice drink with water and sip it slowly rather than drinking a full glass quickly.

Choose drinks with no added sugar and check the label for total carbohydrates per serving.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after the drink if it is safe for you; discuss repeated large spikes with your clinician.
