How does this shake help reduce blood sugar spikes?
The shake uses CARBSTEADY, a blend of slow-digesting carbohydrates designed to blunt rapid glucose rises compared with high-glycemic carbs. By slowing carbohydrate absorption, the formula aims to provide more gradual glucose delivery into the bloodstream. It’s not a treatment but a nutritional approach to help moderate post-meal blood sugar responses when used as part of a diabetes meal plan.
