Dairy based solution for blood sugar control – Arla Foods Ingredients
19 Dec 2017 --- With diabetes becoming more and more of a concern worldwide, nutritional solutions are needed to address it. “Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are becoming almost an epidemic on a global level,” says Troels Laursen. “More than 400 million people worldwide are suffering from diabetes. But besides that, you also have a very large population that’s in a pre-diabetic state where their blood glucose levels are at an unhealthy level.” Arla Foods Ingredients offers its high-protein premium shot ingredient to serve a high amount of whey protein in a drink format. It has worked with Newcastle University on studies to support a serving of this amount of whey protein’s effects on controlling blood sugar levels.

So these facts don’t always fit together.”
