Take Our Blood Sugar Quiz
to Learn if You Are at Risk
Do you have a family history of
type 2 diabetes?
Are you overweight (body mass index over
25) and have excess belly fat?
Has a healthcare provider diagnosed you
with higher than normal blood sugar levels,
insulin resistance, prediabetes, impaired
fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance,
or type 2 diabetes?
Do you have elevated triglyceride levels?
Take Control with
Ultra Glucose Control

Ultra Glucose Control is a medical food designed
for individuals who may need additional support in
controlling their blood sugar levels. It also provides
satiation. Benefits include:
• Ratio-balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein,
and fat to manage glucose response—consistent with
recommendations from clinical centers4,5
• 15 grams of a pea/rice protein blend enhanced
with branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)
• BCAAs (isoleucine, leucine, and valine)—may help
support glucose and insulin metabolism6-8
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, ask
your healthcare provider about nutritional support for
