How Weight Loss can Help:

Losing weight has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes.  Even those who already have Type 2 Diabetes can benefit from a modest weight loss of even 5%-10%.  Medically supervised Optifast Diets may even result in remission of Type 2 Diabetes.  

According to recent studies, Utilizing OPTIFAST® LCD (900 kcal) for 8 to 12 weeks has shown significant weight loss in patients with diabetes, significantly reducing HbA1c and antidiabetic medication. 30% of subjects remained without antidiabetic medication at 6 months follow-up. 

In addition to the overall program, the OPTIFAST® products are a suitable choice for patients with diabetes. Participants with Type 2 Diabetes had a better glycemic response after consumption of any of the four (4) OPTIFAST® meal replacements tested, compared to control products. After consuming OPTIFAST® products, participants had a smaller spike in blood glucose, lower peak concentration of blood glucose, and lower blood glucose levels over time, as compared to control products.
