You should not forget that ot contains sugar. When you extract juice you have to use 3-4 pomegranates for getting a glass of juice but if you want to eat it as fruit use 1/2-1 per day and avoid other fruits on that day.
You can understand the language on internet as you wish.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
In diabetes usual advice is to take small and frequent meals so that there is no excess glucose rise. This helps available Insulin to act better. If one can manage it in that manner hen it is really very good. Most important is to achieve strict glucose control with fasting glucose < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8. If you have any doubts please come back. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is good to know that the specific diet has helped in controlling your glucose levels effectively. If the HbA1c % has come down to 6.4%, that is really an achievement. You may continue the same diet. Thanks.
