Diet has a crucial role to play in managing diabetes and associated conditions. A balanced three-meal pattern along with a comprehensive understanding of the Metabolic Balance program rules can help Diabetics manage their blood sugar levels and weight in a sustainable way. Metabolic Balance can aid in optimizing insulin levels in the system and also decrease hunger levels and symptoms of hypoglycemia in Diabetics. The complex grains such as rye, barley, etc along with protein and fats at each meal ensure that the glycemic load of the food is low and will not cause sugar spikes or dips. The Metabolic Balance program has helped diabetics to reduce their medication and balance nutrient deficiencies by carefully selecting foods that are optimally matched to their needs. This also helps to avoid complications related to diabetes.

Pre-diabetes

It constitutes two conditions, Impaired glucose tolerance i.e higher than normal (140-199mg/dl) Blood Sugar following a meal and Impaired Fasting Glucose which is higher than normal Blood sugar(100-125mg/dl) on an empty stomach.
