It can be hard to make sure kids eat a well-balanced diet. I often worry that my kids may not be getting the nutrients they need and that they are having too much junk food, well I cannot blame them because I, myself is fond of eating junk foods, processed and fast foods.
I find it challenging to encourage kids to eat healthier food. Kids who are suffering from malnutrition are more likely to get sick and my kids seem like they are always sick and that I get so frustrated.
I am so grateful that I was sent a sample from Nestlé Health Science that can be used for meal replacement or a supplement to help my kids get the complete nutrition they need .

These days, it's hard to ignore the news of exploding increases in type 2 diabetes. What's really scary is that diabetes doesn't just affect you in the short term. It is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, which triggers the onset of heart disease, stroke, kidney and nerve problems. These are very real consequences that can happen to anyone who isn't taking steps to keep their diabetes under control.
My father-in-law was one of those people. When we went back from the Philippines from the States back in year 2009 he was already been in and out of the hospital because of his diabetes and had complications. Diabetes had taken so much from him and because of the complications, that was the sad reason he died just months after we went back to the Philippines.
We still miss him every day.
What is Diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus or simply diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by elevation of blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).
People living with diabetes need a supplement and especially if you are very busy and need an instant, nutritious meal while away from home, you do not cook or no time to cook, have digestive problems, have decreased appetite or tend to ignore mealtimes and have difficulty to make meals for themselves or follow a balanced meal plan.
Nutren Diabetes can be used a meal replacement or a meal supplement to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is easy to prepare and can also supplement or replace breakfast or be used as a snack between meals instead of less healthy alternatives.
Nutren Diabetes can be used for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetics as well as in gestational (pregnancy) diabetics. Some of its characteristics are:
- Low glycemic index (Gl)
- Soluble and insoluble fibers to help improve blood glucose control
- Enriched with 30 vitamins and minerals
- Lactose-free and gluten-free
- No added sugar; complex carbohydrates
- Monounsaturated fatty acids; low cholesterol
It is good to know that there is a supplement like Nutren Diabetes to help maintain blood sugar levels throughout the day.
Nestle has a range of Nutritional supplements to meet the needs of the whole family.
Use under Medical Supervision. Consult your doctor as always before taking any supplements.
