    Hello Sandeep,

    I have just received your email and have gone through your query carefully.

    There are a few things I need to clarify in your query:
    – you say that fasting blood sugar is 272 mg/dL. Is this the first time you measure your blood sugar?
    – If not, Are you a diabetic?
    – if yes, are you taking medications? Can you mention the names?
    – any other illness or medication you take on regular basis?
    – when you say juice, what do you mean? It’s freshly prepared ? with no added sugar?

    Please write back to me your answers so I can give a more specific advice.

    Generally speaking, if you are a diabetic, yes, you can drink juice. However, should prepare it fresh with no added sugar.

    Furthermore, when you say you are feeling weak, what do you mean? Chronic fatigue? Low energy? High sweating?
    Have you checked your blood count about anemia? blood electrolytes for deficiencies?

    So, first we should determine why you are feeling weak, then, decide the best treatment strategy.

    Looking forward to have the requested information in.
    Dr.Albana
