Diben Drink

Unlike other nutritional drink, Diben drink is tailored for the need of diabetes patients. Its concept is based on Mediterranean diet. The purpose is to control stable blood sugar level in order to prevent or postpone the deterioration of diabetes and at the same time provide appropriate energy and control weight.

Product features

Excellent energy profile
  1. Increase fat content as energy source (provide 42% energy) but fat is mainly comprised of healthy mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA)
  2. Reduce carbohydrate as energy source (provide 35% energy) in order to reduce the chance of rising Glycemic index (GI)
Good fat proportion
  1. Increase proportion of Mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA). Reduce proportion of saturated fatty acid. Research study shows that diet rich in MUFA can improve insulin function
  2. Compared with Low Chain Triglyceride (LCT), Medium Chain Triglycerid (MCT) is easier to be absorbed and converted into energy. Benefit of MCT is that it will not be stored as fat and help control weight
Low GI index of carbohydrate

The carbohydrate is tailored made for diabetes patient with low GI. It helps patient control and stabilize blood sugar level

Research study*

  1. Study tested 40 Type II diabetics on oral diabetic medication in need of nutritional support
  2. 2. Continuously to use Diben drink for 6 weeks, iAUC0-240 is reduced by 45% compared with standard nutritional drink
    (iAUC0-240 = Incremental Area Under Curve during 0-240 minutes)
  3. Continuously to use Diben drink for 12 weeks, HbA1c is reduced from 7.3 to 6.1

My mother has diabetes. She drinks 2 bottles of Diben everyday with medication for 3 months. Now her weight is improved and HbA1c is reduced from 7.3 to 6.1.
