Can juice fasts help people with type 2 diabetes?

I don't mean for a long term but fasting a few days. I would like to do it also to help lose weight.

Update:

I am not talking about just fruit juice, I am talking about making vegetable juices

    The most helpful diet for Type 2 is a low carb diet.

    So if you can make vegetable juice which is low carb and also edible, then go ahead and do it.

    I'm just thinking that truly low-carb vegetable juice would not be very appetising. I mean, think cabbage juice, brussel sprout juice, asparagus juice, cauliflower juice, broccoli juice... Um, no thanks, I think I'll have my broccoli with a rare steak, thanks.

    Diabetics can't process sugar like non-diabetics. When we eat fruit or drink juice, our blood sugar levels go up, potentially to dangerous levels.

    As a Type 2 diabetic, a juice fast is probably the last weight loss tool I would ever try. Other than the blood sugar consequences, juice will stimulate an insulin resistant Type 2's pancreas to produce excess amounts of insulin. High levels of insulin in the body work against weight loss.

    juice fasts for diabetics will help them lose weight !! Yes!!! for sure!!! You will lose all control of your glucose and it will skyrocket to the moon. When glucose is that high it starts eating up the fat, then goes to eating up the muscles!!! By all means do a juice fast!! This will also help to kill your kidneys and liver as well as assist and aid in heart disease and the other possibility is your eyes will start bleeding internally and you will go blind..

    This is NOT the way to lose weight!! to lose weight, follow a very restricted low carb food plan, less than 25 grams of carb per meal, double or triple your exercise regime, and take your meds!!

    DO NOT fast if you are diabetic!! Just eat less food and that food being low carb mostly meats!

    High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/PIMT6

    Symptoms of type 1 diabetes:

    Increased thirst

    Increased urination

    Weight loss in spite of increased appetite

    Fatigue

    Nausea

    Vomiting

    Patients with type 1 diabetes usually develop symptoms over a short period of time, and the condition is often diagnosed in an emergency setting.

    Symptoms of type 2 diabetes:

    Increased thirst

    Increased urination

    Increased appetite

    Fatigue

    Blurred vision

    Slow-healing infections

    Impotence in men

    If you think you have diabetes i think you should have a checkup and speak with your doctor just in case.

    Like it or loathe this, horseradish, which comes from the same family as wasabi, can actually enable you to dissolve your fat and stave off hunger pangs, claim researchers from your University of Copenhagen. Spread a bit on your sarnies, instead of your respective usual ketchup, for a weight loss effect.
