One whole guava instead of juice
One ripe guava is eaten whole, with a knife and a plate if you want pieces. Fruit juice is not the same habit. The fruit is not a blood-sugar treatment.
Important: this remedy is only a supportive home measure. Keep taking any medicine your doctor has prescribed, monitor your readings, and consult your doctor before adding anything new.
About one whole guava
Wash the guava and eat it with the seeds if you can chew them, or cut it into pieces. One fruit is the portion. Do not sprinkle sugar, chaat masala in a heavy salty mix, or turn it into a blended glass.
If your doctor has already set a fruit portion for you, follow that. This page only prefers the whole fruit over juice. It does not replace diabetes medicine.
