[text] Slim-Fast and Diabetes

The Slim•Fast® 3•2•1 plan is a suitable weight-loss programme for people with diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetics who do not require insulin.

We do not recommend Slim•Fast for people with type 1 diabetes

The safety of meal replacement diets has not been properly assessed for these diabetics.

An effective weight-loss option

While it’s possible a patient could reduce their calorie intake by devising their own diet, nutritional requirements are easier to achieve with Slim.Fast meal replacements. Trials also show that weight reduction and maintenance improve with meal replacement diets.
