What is the recommended amount of orange juice in the daily diet of someone with type 2 diabetes? Can too much cause an elevation in blood sugar?
A. There are no guidelines regarding a daily recommended amount of orange juice for a person with diabetes. Simply account for the calories and sugar content of the orange juice when planning your meal. A four ounce glass of orange juice contains about 60 calories and 15 grams of carbohydrate. As with any carbohydrate-containing food or drink, too much at one time can increase blood sugar levels.
