DIABETIC APPROVED PRODUCTS
Medifast Plus for Diabetics is a line of products specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of diabetics. All products in the diabetic line contain less than 5 grams of sugar per serving and are low in fat, calories and cholesterol. The standard American Diabetic Association (ADA meal plan typically ranges from 1,500 to 1,800 calories per day. The Medifast Plus for Diabetics program is lower in sugar, calories and carbohydrates, which may affect dosage requirements of insulin and oral diabetic agents.
CLINICALLY PROVEN
Researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health conducted an 86-week diabetic weight loss study that found participants using Medifast lost twice as much weight and were twice as compliant as participants following a standard food diet based on the dietary guidelines of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Additionally, 24 percent of the Medifast users decreased or eliminated their diabetes medication, compared to 0 percent on the standard food diet.
This study reinforces the fact that people with Type 2 diabetes are more likely to stick with the Medifast plan, lose more weight, and improve their health.
