A blender still isn't that much better than juicing as you've already done a lot of the breakdown work that your digestive system does allowing for more absorption, which in and of itself isn't too bad.
For the most part, once you have enough protein in your diet, calories are calories. If you're predisposed to diabetes you're better off getting those calories from low glycemic sources. That doesn't make it easy to avoid too much of the good^Wbad stuff. However, you should also avoid getting more than 100g of sugar a day, though I try to stay under 100g of net carbs/day.

I'd like to see a citation on that. I researched that issue a while back and the best I could determine is that no one has ever done a study on blending vs chewing.
