Abbott has introduced an upgraded formulation of Ensure Diabetes Care in India, strengthening its portfolio of science-based nutrition solutions for people living with diabetes. Backed by more than 30 years of research and supported by over 60 clinical studies, the new formulation is designed to help individuals manage blood sugar levels more effectively while supporting overall metabolic health.
The enhanced product features a triple-care nutrient system, which now includes four times more myo-inositol than the previous version. This is combined with a low-glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrate blend that helps minimise sudden blood sugar elevations after meals. The formulation is high in protein and fibre, enabling better glycaemic control, cholesterol reduction, and improved weight management.
A key benefit of the upgraded formula is its ability to preserve lean muscle mass during weight loss while significantly decreasing total body fat, including harmful visceral fat. Visceral fat, stored deep around organs such as the liver and pancreas, is strongly linked to chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Reducing this hidden fat can therefore contribute to better long-term health outcomes.
With diabetes continuing to grow as a global health challenge — affecting an estimated 589 million adults worldwide, and projected to reach 853 million by 2050 — targeted nutrition has become a vital part of disease management. India alone has 101 million adults living with diabetes, placing it second in global prevalence.
Glycaemic control remains a major concern, with three out of four individuals struggling to maintain blood glucose within healthy limits. Factors such as suboptimal dietary patterns, genetics, and lifestyle habits contribute to this widespread challenge.
The new Ensure Diabetes Care blend incorporates slow-digesting carbohydrates, enhanced inositol, and a dual-fibre system combining soluble and insoluble fibres to support digestive health. Prebiotic FOS helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, while a heart-healthy fat profile supports cholesterol management. The product contains no added sucrose and includes elevated levels of essential micronutrients such as vitamin D, chromium, calcium, and zinc.
Abbott’s upgraded formulation reflects its ongoing commitment to advancing clinical nutrition solutions that support improved blood sugar control, cardiometabolic health, and healthier living for people managing diabetes.
