As a food enthusiast and blogger, I got a little upset when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a few years back. I was worried that my passion for trying out different cuisines all over the country and writing about them would be severely affected by my condition. I consulted a doctor and he suggested lifestyle changes that included a diabetes-friendly diet, adequate exercise and medication that can help me continue with my passion.
All these made a difference though I still had issues such as feeling tired and hungry at odd hours and too frequently. I reached out to friends and family living with diabetes or have someone who is living with diabetes and received a lot of helpful tips of diet and exercise. A few of them suggested to try Ensure Diabetes Care along with other lifestyle changes, as it had helped them. On reading about it online I understood, it is world’s No 1 diabetes-specific nutritional drink.
Ensure Diabetes Care benefits
One of my friends was living with diabetes for quite a few years and felt that Ensure Diabetes Care benefits him a lot. However, since it is not advisable to add a nutrition drink to your regimen without talking to your physician, I had a word with my doctor. And started including it into my regime when doctor approved it saying that Ensure Diabetes Care benefits many of his patients who have diabetes.
I have been regularly taking Ensure Diabetes Care since then. This diabetes specific nutrition drink comes in the form of a powder that needs to be added to water to prepare as a drink (6 scoops in 200ml water). I was advised by my physician to have it once daily with my breakfast. I was told that Ensure Diabetes Care is clinically proven to help manage blood sugar levels in 4 weeks1 and personally I have seen that I have that I have started feeling much more energised than before.
Ensure Diabetes Care comes in two variants – vanilla and chocolate. I am a big chocolate fan. It is powered with the Triple Care System2 of high quality protein, high fibre and 36 nutrients.
Diabetes specific lifestyle modifications
In diabetes management journey, following are key pillars
● Nutrition
● Exercise
● Medication
● Checking of blood sugar
For nutrition, Ensure Diabetes care is very apt. I was told by my doctor that one can take Ensure Diabetes Care up to twice daily, once with breakfast and once in the morning.
It is also necessary to continue taking our diabetes medications and lifestyle modifications like exercising along with Ensure Diabetes Care. And regular monitoring helps in being in control of your life.
As I travelled, I found many people living with diabetes who trust Ensure Diabetes Care. Now, I continue my passion for food and blogging on the advice of my doctor.
