Huel can be suitable for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but it is important to tailor your intake based on your specific needs, treatment plan, and how your body responds.


Key Considerations

All Huel products contain carbohydrates β€” monitor your portion size and total carb intake as part of your diabetes management plan

Insulin and medication

If you use insulin or other glucose-lowering medications, you may need to adjust your dosage or meal timing when introducing Huel β€” speak with your clinical team before doing so

Nutritional transparency

All Huel products include detailed nutrition labels covering carbohydrates, sugars, fibre, protein, and fat β€” making it easier to fit Huel into a diabetes management plan
