It’s common to have lower levels of glucose while on the
products. Be careful with your use of insulin. I recommend
to my patients that they cut their insulin in half while
they do this program and adjust it accordingly. I also
recommend my patients use short-acting insulin. Please
consult your doctor before adjusting medication. You cannot
expect to get off of insulin, of course, but you can expect
to feel better and lower the levels of insulin required.

During the Shake Days you may find that the glucose levels
increase. This is expected, but if the rise is too high then
you can consider switching to diluting the shake with our
unflavored whey protein, IsaPro, or having ½ a shake 4 times
a day or ½ a shake 2 times day. Watch your glucose levels to
guide you.

 Type 2 diabetes

Monitor your glucose levels closely since it’s easy to have
low levels while on the program. I personally recommend to
my diabetics that they cut their medications in half if they
are going to start on the 9-Day Program and if they are
using insulin to only use the shorter-acting insulins.
Please consult your doctor before adjusting medication.

A temporary glucose rise would be OK since it’s better than
you falling into a hypoglycemic state, which is more
dangerous than a hyperglycemic state. What we generally see
is a reduction of both medication and glucose levels with
this program. The Shake Days may very well show an increase
in the glucose levels but as your weight goes down this
generally is self-correcting. If this rise is too great for
you then you can switch to just the IsaPro or you can use ½
a shake 4 times a day or reduce the amount to just ½ a shake
2 times a day.

I have also seen my patients no longer require any type of
medication for diabetes, but individual differences doesn’t
make this the case for everyone.* At the very least you
should see a reduction in your weight and a reduction in the
amount of medication that you are using.
