Body Talk Mealshakes and Diabetes

Body Talk Mealshakes are suitable for use by Type II diabetics whose condition is controlled by diet. Each serve provides 12g protein, 1.8g fat, 35g carbohydrate and 210 Calories (880kJ). The shakes are substantially skimmed milk powder, and contain lactose from the milk solids along with other carbohydrates needed to provide the balance of 210 Calories and to make the product taste good "like a milk shake should".
Our Mealshakes have not been measured for their glycaemic index, however we have received many reports from Type II Diabetics who use our product. They say the carbohydrates are absorbed relatively slowly and have not created problems with blood sugar levels.
There are two important points to consider:
1. If you are an overweight Type II diabetic, weight loss will help control your condition.
2. There is no easy way to lose weight. Meal replacements will not do it for you (good advice is most important) but Mealshakes may make your diet easier and more enjoyable.

Insulin -dependent diabetics should not use Body Talk Mealshakes without medical supervision
