I have to make a decision I've been pondering this for a couple days now and I just not happy with the main decision I have to make and that's to cut down on my high sugar intake of fruit juices another sweet drinks. I started drinking more of these beverages in the last couple months just because I'm trying to increase the amount of liquids that I intake in today's time to increase my urine output. I begin to worry about these kind of things. I wonder which is worse not having enough liquid intake or having too much sugar intake through liquids. If I had my way I would have more orange juice, apple juice of course and other straight fruit drinks but people have told me that's way bad because of the amount of sugar. Since my last visit or so from the doctors who've indicated I'm pre-diabetic my friends who see me drinking these high glucose based beverages have a chastised me on my choices are fluids. Perhaps I thought today I should check those drinks that you mix with water those packages of flavorings like lemonade and fruit juice type drinks. Supposedly they don't have sugar in them so it would not negatively affect my pre-diabetic body I guess. My doctor or Home Health person the occupational therapist was even negative on the intake of V8 juice and Other Tomato based juices. Not So Much from the sugar intake but the carbohydrate or whatever badly items live in the tomato paste drink which I really like. On food box days there's always a couple of bottles of grape juice and such show up on the giveaway table because other people don't want to ingest the high sugar intake drinks as well. Seniors are really sensitive to this kind of stuff and so when they get these drinks in their boxes they end up on the table. I try to get as many as I can find or I have in the past but they tend to disappear fast. I had the idea if I were to take the grape juice cut it in half and fill the other half of whatever I'm dealing with with water seems to me that would cut the sugar intake in half at least you can certainly modulize that too however you wanted it however weak you wanted to make the drink. I might try that tomorrow. Whereas I totally enjoy the full strength of adulterated grape juice I think I would enjoy the water down juice as well especially if it would help my diabetic report. I still have not got the results back from my clinician. I'm afraid he's going to just basically dump everything onto the folder I supposedly have online and I should be able to read the results there. I don't know how I would react or well-react to watered down grape juice but it can't be all that bad. I think I would be able to do this on a constant basis if I can get the juice in my juice bottle capped in the fridge chilled.
It's been a long day for me I got up a half an hour early at 5:30 a.m. in order to make sure I was dressed and ready for the trip over to the restaurant this morning. I probably could have done on my 6:00 am rice time but I didn't want to be late for breakfast.
