Hello,
All of the ingredients is okay except for dextrose! Therefore, this product can be taken by a diabetic in a small measured quantity only depending on the level of sugar control. In uncontrolled diabetics, this food product should not be taken because intake can lead to sudden rises in blood sugar because of the dextrose content of the same.
