Can I Drink Visalus Shakes If I Have Diabetes

The information below has been taken from the Visalus Sciences Forum * 


Visalus shakes are a good option for someone who is looking for a low fat, low sugar, low carb, and low sodium meal replacement shake. I am attaching a link on healthy eating and diabetes.

The shake and our program provides a low fat, low carb form of eating if the plan is followed. If their doctor says they need more carbs, that is easy to do by drinking a little juice or eating a snack.

The ViSalus Shake is low glycemic (see below).

We have had many people on the shakes that have diabetes, type I or type II.

Our glycemic load is very tiny. We have 7 grams of carbs (primarily from fiber...which is a great carb!!!)
(7x40)/100=2.8 glycemic load.

Compared to an apple that has 6.

How Glycemic Load is Calculated:
The formula for calculating glycemic load is simple. Multiply the GI value of a food by the amount of carbohydrate per serving and divide the result by 100.

Example No 1:
Spaghetti has a GI value of 40

A serving (1 cup) contains 52 grams of carbohydrate.

The glycemic load of spaghetti is: (40 X 52) divided by 100 = 20.8 Example No 2 An apple has a GI value of 40 A serving (medium size apple) contains 15 grams of carbohydrate.

The glycemic load of an apple is: (40 X 15) divided by 100 = 6
