Diabetics: Is this product good for dibetics?

Check with your doctor to make sure, but one bar would be a reasonable snack for most diabetic people. Since it has 22 grams of total carbohydrate but has 5 grams of fiber to subtract from total carbs, it counts as 17 grams toward your total carbohydrate intake for the day, or about one carb unit for most people.

Yes. I am a diabetic and around my fingers get very dry....so I rub it into my skin around fingers and hands. Really helps!

If you do not have a problem with sugar then buy a regular protein drink. I am diabetic and I need my protein shake to be low carb, high protein. I think these products are mainly for people who are trying to eat low carb.

Yes. It has been recommended by the Endocrinologist in charge of my Diabetes type 2.

You are right to be suspicious. Sadly, this product is no longer low-carb -- it just has more protein and fiber added. It has 19 total carbs and 16 net carbs. I don't really see much of a benefit here compared to other cereals that are low in sugar. The added protein, fiber and lack of sugar may help some people like diabetics have a somewhat more regular blood sugar and feel full for longer. Also, this cereal is relatively inexpensive and easily found in local grocery stores. But on the other hand, anyone who is helped by this cereal would probably be helped even more by other cereals that are truly low in carb, with more protein and fiber and less grain, gluten, etc. There are a fair number of other truly low-carb cereals (I recommend "Hi-Lo" or Dixie Diner) that are healthier and taste better, though you would probably need to order them online such as through Amazon, and they tend to be a little to a lot more expensive. Hi-Lo is only 1 to 2 dollars more, Dixie Diner a bit more.

I bought it for my husband who has diabetic neuropathy and his feet tingle and hurt at night. He used it a lot in the beginning but it really didn't help that much. The thing that's helped him the most is Magnilife Diabetic Nerve Cream. Good luck!

I trust this company. I bought it to help me manage my blood sugar issues and it sure did the job. Plus it is a pleasant tea to drink....

I am buying these for my brother, who is a quite overweight and has diabetic foot problems. I believe it does protect his heels quite a bit. However as far as how far up the heel it goes, I would not know without looking at one as he stands on it on the bare floor. All I know is that he says it really helps out- really makes his feet feel better.

That's what the label reads. This seems to help with glucose levels better that the cassia products.

If you are taking a diabetic medication (like insulin or glyburide), talk to a doctor before taking this to make sure this is right for you, otherwise this supplement may allow your blood sugar to fall even lower than normal. I copied this info from Dr. Oz website: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/garcinia-cambogia-hca?page=2#copy

I really don't know what other diabetics skin problems are but mine gets very dry. This lotion really helps. I also get a yeast infection on my skin. Nothing helps that.

My husband drinks it and he has type 2 diabetes. It has done great things for his Blood sugar levels! Of course, now I guess I better have his kidneys checked...

Hi! I am in natural healthcare and have used these shakes off and on for several years. This product is very low in calories, fat, and sugar, making it a good option for most diabetics to supplement their diet. It does have some fake sugars, which can affect the nerves, but most things low fat have some if not more. I don't know of a direct correlation to this and prostate cancer. It is loaded with nutrients, which gives the body more "fuel" to run. I use it with almond milk instead of cow's milk because the dairy slows my system. The shake mix has cassein in it (milk protein), but that doesn't bother me. I have read some research looking at the link between dairy and cancer, but that really addresses what you choose to mix the powder with instead of the shake ingredients. As with anything, I would start slow to see how my body responds and wouldn't overdo it. I have had clients use it as supplemental nutrition, as a meal replacement, and as a protein shake while working out. Most of them seemed happy with their results.

It's probably a miss spelling. They probably ment pancreas oil. The pancreas secretes insulin which reduces high glucose levels. This product most likely improves the health of the pancreas.

I don't know about that, but it's supposed to lower blood sugar...that's why I'm using it.

Yes, This is a very good product. I wouldn't worry about that unless you are using a product that is a year old or so. I use this several times a day.

I am also a diabetic and I do not use it for sugar. I count three things, carbs, calories and fiber. As S. Nelson indicated, carbs break down into sugar.
