Add 10 g (1 level scoop) to 50 ml of water, stir well and drink it straight away.
- Pour 50 ml of water into a clean glass.
- Add 1 level scoop (10 g) of powder.
- Stir well until mixed.
- Drink it immediately, as the label advises.
- Close the tub tightly. Use it within 1 month of opening.
The label does not give a daily limit, so ask your doctor or dietitian how often to take it. For tube feeding, follow your doctor’s or dietitian’s advice. Always consult your doctor before use.
Who Should Take It, and Who Should Not
DiboWell is meant for adults who follow a diabetic diet and want an easy nutrition drink.
It may suit you if you:
- are an adult who watches your blood sugar
- need a quick, light snack between meals
- want extra protein in your day
Do not take it, or talk to your doctor first, if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding (the pack says to avoid use)
- are a child under 5 years (the pack does not recommend it)
- are allergic to milk, soya or sulphites (it has whey, colostrum, soya oil and a sulphite preservative)
- have kidney disease, liver disease or a long-term illness
- take insulin, sugar-lowering tablets, blood thinners or blood pressure medicines
- are due for surgery soon
Please consult your doctor before use. DiboWell is not a vegan product.
Possible Side Effects and Safety Tips
Most people take it well, but a few may notice effects.
- Low sugar: sugar-balance herbs can add to the effect of diabetes medicines. Watch for shakiness, sweating or dizziness, and check your sugar.
- Stomach upset: some people feel gas or bloating from whey, fibre or sweeteners.
- Allergy: milk, soya or sulphite allergy can cause a rash or breathing trouble. Stop and see a doctor at once.
Do not skip your regular meals or medicines because of this drink. Keep checking your blood sugar as your doctor advises. For a full guide to daily care, see the NHS page on managing type 2 diabetes.
When Will I See Results?
A nutrition drink gives support, not quick changes. Any change in your sugar readings needs several weeks of regular use, along with diet and exercise. Your doctor’s lab tests are the real guide.
You will get more from it if you:
- walk for 30 minutes a day
- fill half your plate with vegetables
- cut down on sweets, white rice and sugary drinks
- sleep 7 to 8 hours
- take your medicines and tests on time
