Diagnosing Diabetes Indicators
Being diagnosed with diabetes means that your fasting blood sugar level is elevated and is equal to or greater than 126 mg/dL (or your Hba1C level is equal to or greater than 6.5%).2
Why does blood sugar
fluctuate in Diabetes?
a little more scientific explanation
When you eat your daily food, your digestive tract breaks down carbohydrates into glucose (sugar). Insulin a hormone produced in pancreases, helps cells throughout the body to absorb glucose for daily energy. In diabetes, your body doesn’t use insulin properly. Thus, there isn’t enough insulin to allow glucose into cell, forcing it to remain in the blood stream.
When this occurs, blood sugar levels are elevated. Over time, the pancreas can’t make enough insulin to regulate your blood sugar. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, and loss of vision.

WHY?
They have a high glycemic index: white rice (GI ~60–70) are rapidly digested, causing sugar surges.
A pioneer in scientific evidence for over 30 years,
supported by more than 60 clinical studies, enabling people with Diabetes to live life to the fullest7.
Its Clinically tested, Low Glycemic Index formulation offers a balanced blend of Macro and micronutrients designed to support better glucose control and overall health8.
Helps in managing blood sugar level,
