Faulding® GlucoControl™ is a pre-meal drink for people at risk from type-2 diabetes. People taking Faulding® GlucoControl™ before an otherwise healthy high-GI meal have reduced blood glucose elevation after that meal.

No evidence behind this….
There is nothing in the ingredients of this item that will help reduce blood glucose levels from rising, it is full of protein which raises blood glucose levels. Complete and dangerous scam.
Red flags abound.
I can't find the actual study. I want to see what the sample size and confidence was. If someone can point me to it please do.
Whether or not the study has merit, whey protein can be had much more cheaply, so I'm very tempted to neg. I'll wait for more info instead though. Anyone got a link to the study?
Hi, I know you think there is no evidence… but here is the link. It looks like although Faulding is the company who it is branded by, OmniBlend actually created it… And the Baker IDI guys tend to be very good at their job.

Results from the Baker IDI study were published in Nutrition Journal 2014, 13:103.
A pilot study by Prof Michael Horowitz’s team at Adelaide Uni confirmed the dramatic GI reductions caused by GlucoControl. Click here to see the results of the pilot study. GlucoControl was found to cause slower gastric emptying, which is desirable. Contrary to expectations, GlucoControl did not cause the undesirable insulin spiking which is usually associated with protein pre-meals.
