It is my understanding that fruit juices turn straight to sugar in the system. I wouldn't hold the belief that they are "safe" if you are working to balance blood sugar. In fact Rebecca's nutritionist asked her to drink fresh fruit smoothies rather than fruit juice. At the least they should be eliminated for about 3 weeks, and can be added back in to the diet in moderation
In the beginning it is a good idea to eliminate fruit for a period of time except for lemons and limes. Most sites I have read seem to say you can introduce fruit back in after a period of about three weeks.
It is also a good idea to support your adrenal glands. With hypoglycemia the adrenals are under active, and are unable to raise the blood sugar level sufficiently.

Following a diet high in complex carbohydrates and moderately high in protein and fats, is essential to first controlling and then treatment of hypoglycemia. All simple carbohydrates (sugars in the form of sugar, honey, sweeteners, molasses, pure maple syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, sucrose, maltose, turbinado and corn syrup) must be avoided altogether.
Also be careful of potato, white rice, shell beans, sweet potatoes and yams. For severe cases they should be avoided for 2-3 wks
