I came across your post about having Type 1 and also consuming Monavie. Well, I do both. Have had Type 1 for 34 years, drinking Monvaie since September of last year.

Because I only consume basically a mouthful in the morning and again in the evening, I cannot say that I have noticed any difference whatsoever in my blood sugars. However, I have been sleeping better since taking it, and as a result I am more rested, which may (or may not) have an influence on my readings. I think that whatever you put into your mouth can only increase your blood sugar readings (except water etc.), so I cannot see how any food can really decrease blood sugar readings. However, as I only consume 4 ounces a day spead over 12 hour intervals (or thereabouts – 2 ounces in the morning, 2 at night), it will hardly have a huge effect on my readings anyway.

The juice gives you 4 grams of CHOs per 30ML serving, and 4 grams of sugar per 30 ML serving (I’m reading that from the nutritional info on the side of the bottle), but everything in the bottle is all fruit – no additives. I think it is a great tasting juice (as well as the business aspect to it, but that’s another discussion – talk to me :-> ), but regarding the juice in and of itself: I have not noticed any major effect on my bood readings, either in elevating them or in lowering them.

Hope that answers your question. Feel free to get in touch, or check out my blog at http://www.talkingtype1diabetes.blogspot.com
