Kate Farms,® a company that aims to bring plant-based nutrition into healthcare, launched newest shake, Glucose Support 1.2. The plant-based, organic nutrition shake is designed to help manage blood sugar as part of a balanced diet. As the newest addition to the Kate Farms nutrition portfolio, Glucose Support 1.2 is thoughtfully created to deliver meaningful plant-based nutrition to patients living with diabetes.

According to the CDC, more than 34 million Americans have diabetes, and approximately 90-95% of them have type 2 diabetes. Along with making lifestyle changes and taking medication, people with diabetes must keep a watchful eye on their blood sugar levels and dietary intake to ensure they get the nutrients they need. Studies show that whole food plant-based nutrition may be an effective and powerful tool for those with diabetes. Yet, those with diabetes have limited options for a nutritionally complete, plant-based meal. Traditional meal replacement diabetes shakes often lack essential nutrients or contain artificial sweeteners and common allergens like dairy and soy. Kate Farms' new Glucose Support 1.2 is a low-glycemic nutrition shake that is shown to produce a lower blood sugar response than that of a standard nutrition shake1. The ready-to-drink shake contains a unique blend of plant-based protein, prebiotic fiber and carbohydrates.
