MANILA, Philippines - Not only does diabetes pose a huge health risk, it can also lead to complications such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, amputation, kidney disease, and nerve problems. Thus, early on, diabetics or those with a family history of the disease, should take control or avoid diabetes beginning with a diabetic’s diet, which includes DiabetaMil. DiabetaMil Nutritious Drink contains cereal and oat flakes that increase the feeling of fullness, helping curb one’s appetite. And for morning and afternoon cravings, there are DiabetaMil Cookies to satisfy hunger pangs. Savor the nutty chocolate and vanilla dried fruit variants, great for those with a sweet tooth minus the guilt and health concerns. Both products are flavored using Tropicana Slim Sweetener, a healthy sugar-free sweetener with low glycemic index (GI), which helps in controlling blood sugar. A serving of DiabetaMil Nutritious Drink only has 250 calories, while two pieces of DiabetaMil Cookies contain 100 calories. DiabetaMil is distributed by Ecofoods Corporation and available in major drugstores and supermarkets.
