Can Ensure Plus Shake Be Taken In Diabetics Condition?
Is Ensure Plus shake ok for someone with diabetes. The person is not on insulin, but just controlling it by diet. Was sick and underwent surgery over a month ago and lost a lot of weight. Appetite is not great so not eating enough. Ensure is a high calory, balanced drink. Is it safe for diabetes and will it help her gain some weight?

dear sir I can understand your concerns
in my opinion ensure contains some ammount of sugar in it so usually we will not recommend it to any diabetes individuals
there is a very good alternative for that which is manufactured by same company Abbort
that is Glusarna SR
this supplement is designed for diabetes individuals
I suggest you to keep a close monitoring for his diabetes as uncontrolled diabetes also causes weight loss
I wish you a speedy recovery
