Diabetes and Huel

As with all food, if you’re using medication to help control your diabetes you should structure your intake of Huel appropriately. Indeed, Huel is low in sugar, has a low GI of 27 and you can accurately measure the amount of carbohydrate you’re consuming each meal; this may be useful depending on what medication or insulin regimen you’re following.

The carbs in Huel are complex carbs. This ties in well with Diabetes UK recommendations here https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Enjoy-food/Carbohydrates-and-diabetes/
