Health experts have always informed people that diabetes is one of the four major comorbidities of COVID-19 alongside cancer, chronic kidney disease and hypertension. In the Philippines, diabetes is the 4th leading cause of death, according to Philippine Statistics Authority.
Patients with diabetes or pre-diabetes alike have a lot to look out for as the risks of COVID steadily pose a threat to their overall health. For one, a large percentage of severe COVID patients have been found to have diabetes and the same comorbidity has been observed for COVID-related deaths as well.
Patients with pre-diabetes should similarly be on high alert. One is considered a patient with pre-diabetes if their blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered as diabetic. But without lifestyle changes, adults or even children with pre-diabetes are more likely to develop the disease if not properly maintained.
Diabetasol, a meal replacement nutrition powder packed with 11 essential vitamins and 6 minerals, is the lifestyle drink of choice for those who manage their diabetes. The drink helps boost immunity because it has vitamins A, C, D, E, and Zinc. It also helps regulate blood sugar and hunger pangs because it has VitaDigest, a combination of inulin fiber and slow-digesting carbohydrates.
By taking care of themselves now, individuals with diabetes and pre-diabetes have a chance of avoiding the worst symptoms and complications of COVID-19. Through Diabetasol, individuals with the threatening disease can already enjoy some of life’s pleasures particularly when it comes to satisfying cravings. All it entails is examining one’s diet and lifestyle and consciously choosing to manage their diabetes properly day by day, and choosing a drink that can satisfy their taste buds and help them manage their health.
