Juice really isn't a good idea. It's fruit (or veggies) with all the solids, like fiber, tossed out, along with a lot of nutrients. To varying degrees, it's still a "sugar drink," even with no sugar added.

Switch to non-sweetened or artificially sweetened drinks, instead. Diet Soda, water, flavored water (the low and zero calorie ones, like Propel or Crystal Geiser), ice tea, etc.

My mother was diabetic and couldn't even drink V8, which has some fiber and is made from a lot of veggies. When you come down to it, it's almost 100% carbs and very easily shoots into an elevated blood sugar condition.
