(SKĐS) – Diabetes is one of the chronic non-communicable diseases that has been rapidly increasing worldwide in recent years. In Vietnam, the number of people living with diabetes has risen significantly, with a high rate of complications, highlighting this as an urgent and current health issue.
Alarming prevalence of diabetes in Vietnam
Vietnam has nearly 7 million people living with diabetes, of which 55% of type 2 diabetes patients have already developed complications affecting the heart, eyes, nerves, and kidneys.
According to WHO recommendations, diabetes is known as the “silent killer,” causing severe complications such as blindness, limb amputation, kidney failure, stroke, and coronary artery disease…
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common among younger populations in Vietnam and worldwide. This trend is largely driven by the rising rates of childhood obesity, with Vietnam experiencing the fastest growth of obesity among children in Southeast Asia, leading to earlier onset of diabetes.
To effectively manage blood sugar levels, in addition to regular health check-ups, physical activity, and a healthy lifestyle, nutrition plays a crucial foundational role. Proper nutrition not only helps control post-meal blood glucose but also supports long-term blood sugar stability, reducing the risk of complications.
Glycemic Index (GI) and HbA1c – Two key “measures” for people with diabetes
The Glycemic Index (GI) of foods indicates the speed at which blood sugar rises after eating. Foods with a low GI help blood sugar increase more slowly and remain stable.
GI is generally divided into three categories: low, medium, and high. Foods with a GI below 55 are considered low and beneficial for health. Foods with a GI of 56–69 fall into the medium range, and those with a GI of 70 or higher are classified as high. People with diabetes are advised to prioritize low-GI foods to optimize blood sugar control.
In addition to GI, HbA1c is the “gold standard” marker reflecting average blood glucose over the past 2–3 months. Higher HbA1c levels indicate a greater risk of vascular, eye, kidney, and nerve complications. Experts generally recommend that most patients aim for HbA1c < 7% .
Therefore, a low-GI diet not only helps maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day but also supports long-term HbA1c improvement, reducing the risk of complications.
Glucare Gold (collectively referred to as “Glucare Gold”) is a clinically proven low glycemic index food supplement
Glucare Gold, developed by Nutricare in collaboration with the Nutricare Medical Nutrition Institute – USA (NMNI-USA), is a nutritional solution designed specifically for people with diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. The product contains a slow-digesting carbohydrate system that has been clinically proven to have a low GI, helping balance blood sugar, support HbA1c improvement, and enhance overall health.
Glucare Gold has been clinically proven to have a low glycemic index, meeting the recommendations of the World Health Organization, helping support stable blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Clinical verification serves as the clearest evidence of the product’s effectiveness in blood sugar management for users.
Glucare Gold features a formula enriched with slow-digesting carbohydrates (Isomaltulose, Erythritol) with a low glycemic index (GI), recommended for people with diabetes. This carbohydrate system is low in calories and highly digestible. It is absorbed by the body 4–5 times more slowly than regular sugar, preventing the sharp post-consumption blood sugar spikes often seen with conventional products.
Glucare Gold dietary supplement – 56 nutrients to support daily health
In addition, Glucare Gold provides 56 essential nutrients, including plant protein and easily absorbed Whey protein with high biological value. These supply essential amino acids necessary for protein synthesis and immune cell function, supporting immunity, recovery, and overall health.
The formula also includes Omega 3, 6, 9 fatty acids and an antioxidant system, helping reduce cardiovascular complications and prevent stroke. Research shows Omega-3 fatty acids can effectively protect cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure, slowing plaque formation in blood vessels, reducing the risk of arrhythmia, stroke, and sudden cardiac events in people with heart conditions…
Studies also show that Omega-3 can help lower triglyceride levels, a type of “bad” blood fat, while increasing HDL, the “good” cholesterol. Additionally, it reduces platelet aggregation, helping prevent coronary artery blockage and lowering the risk of arrhythmia; it also improves arterial tone, reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, and decreases inflammatory factors.
With a formula specifically designed for people with diabetes, consuming 2 servings of Glucare Gold per day provides a full spectrum of essential nutrients, supporting stable blood sugar levels alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Glucare Gold is also a suitable nutritional choice for those at risk of diabetes or with gestational diabetes.
