Following a healthy lifestyle is the first line of defense for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes.

A new study conducted in the US has revealed that consumption of 100% fruit juice is not linked to increasing risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It also supports a growing body of evidence that fruit juice has no significant impact on glycemic control.

The study involved comprehensive data analysis that quantitatively evaluated the correlation between consumption of 100% juice and blood glucose control.

Following a healthy lifestyle is the first line of defense for preventing and treating type 2 diabetes. A healthy diet, regular physical exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight are also encouraged.

The US Dietary Guidelines state that  a healthy eating pattern should  include vegetables, fruits, low-fat or fat-free dairy, grains, and a variety of protein foods.

A 4-oz. glass of 100% fruit juice could replace one serving of fruit, and can supplement whole fruit to help people add more nutrition to their diets.
