1 in 10 Americans live with diabetes. So it’s no wonder we receive so many inquiries about the risks and benefits of trying our blended green juice cleanse with diabetes.
Today we’re tackling the most common questions we receive around organic cleanses and diabetes.
Is Chef V’s Organic Cleanse Safe For Diabetics?
This is an important thing for a diabetic to ask their doctors before they get started. However for the most part our blended green juice cleanse can be very beneficial for diabetics. A diabetic organic cleanse can help with:
* Weight loss
* Increased nutrient intake
* Easier digestion
Blood Sugar Levels
It can be hard for those with diabetes to find an organic juice cleanse that works for them as much juice typically contains a high amount of sugar. This comes from most juice having a lot of fruits that contain a lot of sugars. This can obviously become quite dangerous for a diabetic whose pancreas does not release enough insulin in response to glucose in your bloodstream.
Good news for diabetics though, Chef V’s cleanse is made mostly with leafy greens and vegetables! This makes our blended green drink recipe high in fibre, low in carbs and low in sugar. Our blended green drink contains a blend of:
* Black Kale & Green Kale
* Collard Greens
* Green Leaf Lettuce
* Curly Parsley
* Dandelion Greens
* Green Chard
It is still important to be monitoring your blood sugar throughout the Chef V cleanse or detox. But our Chef V cleanse makes it possible for diabetics to receive the benefits they are looking for.
Supergreen Drinks Are High In Fiber
For diabetics, carefully monitoring and controlling your carb intake is essential to maintaining balanced blood sugar levels. This includes ensuring high fiber intake as fiber helps to slow down the absorption of sugars in your digestive system.
The juicing process can strip fruits and vegetables of their natural fiber and nutrients. This is why Chef V green juice is blended not juiced, making it jam-packed with beneficial nutrients, vitamins, and fiber. You can actually increase your daily fiber intake with Chef V products.
Fibre also helps soften stool and remove waste, including harmful bacteria. It is important to stay hydrated when eating a lot of fiber. With Chef V’s green drink, you don’t need to worry about that as you stay super hydrated on a blended juice cleanse.
Type-1 And Type-2 Diabetes And A Blended Juice Cleanse
If you have Type-2 Diabetes you might be interested in trying an organic juice cleanse for weight loss. The healthier you eat and the more weight you lose, the easier it will be to manage your diabetes. Drinking blended juice can also help lower your cholesterol and improve your overall health.
If you have Type-1 Diabetes you can also benefit and have a successful detox. If you’re skeptical about trying an organic cleanse as a diabetic, you wouldn’t be alone. One of our customer success stories comes from Whitney, who suffers from Type-1 diabetes.

As A Diabetic, Is An Organic Juice Cleanse Right For Me?
This is up to the individual. If your diabetes is well controlled and you know how different vegetables, fruits, and blended juices affect your blood sugar then you should do just fine. However, if your diabetes is poorly controlled you might want to ease into a blended juice cleanse.
Chef V’s green drink is full of so many beneficial nutrients and with a calorie deficit, you will lose weight, de-bloat, experience healthier skin, hair, nails, higher energy levels, and a boosted immune system.
Before you try any sort of organic cleanse, make sure to talk with your doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist first!
