Abbott Reformsulate Ensure Diabetes Care for Blood Sugar Management

Abbott Laboratories, the global healthcare company, has introduced a reformulated version of its Ensure Diabetes Care nutritional drink. The updated formulation aims to assist individuals living with diabetes in managing their blood glucose levels, supporting weight control, and contributing to overall health.

The product features a triple care system incorporating key nutrients, including a fourfold increase in myo-inositol and a low glycemic index carbohydrate blend. Abbott states these ingredients are engineered to help minimize blood sugar spikes. Combined with high protein and fiber content, the nutrients are intended to support glycemic control, aid in cholesterol reduction, and assist with weight management. The formulation is also said to help preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss and reduce overall body fat.

Diabetes represents a significant and growing global health challenge, with projections indicating a substantial increase in affected individuals by 2050. In India, which ranks second globally in diabetes prevalence, Abbott seeks to provide nutritional solutions to aid disease management. The company notes that poor glycemic control is common among people with diabetes due to various factors, including dietary habits, genetics, and lifestyle.

The new Ensure Diabetes Care formulation includes an advanced slow-digesting carbohydrate blend with increased inositol to help manage blood sugar. It also contains a dual fiber blend to promote digestive tract health and prebiotics to support a healthy gut microbiome. A heart-healthy fat blend is included to support cardiovascular health and cholesterol reduction. The product is formulated with essential vitamins and minerals, including enhanced levels of Vitamin D, chromium, calcium, and zinc. It contains no added sucrose and is high in protein and fiber.

Ensure Diabetes Care is available in vanilla and chocolate flavors, offered in various pack sizes. The product can be purchased at pharmacies and through e-commerce platforms.
