Your diet should help you lose weight and keep your diabetes under control.
Medifast for Diabetics address the two problems faced by most people with type 2 diabetes—the need to reduce weight and control blood sugar levels. That’s why Medifast has a special meal plan for diabetics that promotes long-term weight loss while helping achieve stable blood glucose levels.
Along with regular physical activity, a healthy diet is the most essential factor in managing your type 2 diabetes. Medifast’s low-glycemic index foods provide varying amounts of carbohydrates and calories to help you lose weight and meet your body’s specific nutritional needs.
A 2005 study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health showed that the Medifast diet for diabetics enabled more people to lose more weight over people on the a standard American Dietary Association diet. Additionally, 24 percent of the Medifast users decreased or eliminated their diabetes medication, compared to 0 percent on the standard ADA diet.
Special Meals for Special Needs
Medifast offers Diabetes 2-Week and 4-Week packages. These scientifically formulated Medifast products were developed for men and women who are especially sensitive to and need to avoid hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic states. Both packages include shakes, bars, oatmeal and soup.
The Medifast PLUS for Diabetes Shakes—available in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry—have fewer carbs than standard Medifast shakes and contain more protein. Fewer carbs means less dramatic spikes in your blood sugar; more protein means better moderation of the sugar that enters your bloodstream after digestion.
Medifast recommends that you contact your primary care physician or diabetes specialist before beginning Medifast PLUS for Diabetics.
