Yes, the ON meal replacement was developed with the needs of diabetics in mind. This means that special emphasis has been placed in the formulation on a low glycemic index (GI) and the control of sugar levels to avoid blood sugar spikes. Products with a low GI release glucose into the bloodstream more slowly, which allows for more stable blood sugar control and is therefore beneficial for diabetics.
In addition, ON's meal replacement products contain a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients specifically designed to support the nutritional needs of diabetics without negatively impacting their blood sugar levels. This makes ON meal replacements a safe and potent option for diabetics looking for effective weight management and weight loss solutions, provided they are used as part of a comprehensive and physician-supervised diet plan.
However, it is important that diabetics always make individual dietary recommendations and adjustments in consultation with their treating physician or a dietitian to ensure that meal replacements are optimally integrated into their specific health plan
