Mr. Pure Energy Talks About Life with Diabetamil

“Don’t let diabetes stop you from living your life.”

Lines that Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano, has been saying during the event with the media (trad and social) last June , 2015 in Victorio’s.  This was the introduction of DiabetaMil to the public and what better way but have Mr. Gary Valenciano – a known diabetic himself, be the brand ambassador.

At age 14, he was already diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and was told by his doctors that he won’t live past the age of 40.  Thirty seven years later, he is still standing and doing the things that he likes best.  People still sees him perform weekly in an afternoon Sunday TV show.  He does biking and plays hoops every weekend too.  He is simply living his life!  When asked as to how DiabetaMil affected his daily performance: “DiabetaMil is a good and delicious treat for those who has diabetic.  The cereal drink is a good day starter, while the cookies are best snack substitute,” states Gary V. “Your doctor must be informed that you are interested in taking DiabetaMil in your daily regimen so that he can advise you as to the best time to take it.”

A diet that includes DiabetaMil is one that he lives by.  This reduced calorie, sugar-free drink (cereal and non-cereal) contains vitamins, minerals and protein specially formulated for people with diabetes.  It is enriched with Chromium Picolate and Dietary Fiber, high in Calcium and has low Glycemic Value.  DiabetaMil has a delicious line-up of cereal (Vanilla and Chocolate) & non-cereal drinks (Moccachino) and cookies (Nutty Chocolate and Vanilla Dried Fruit flavors) that allows one a healthy and nutritious meal without sacrificing its taste.

Being a diabetic myself (Type 2), I do understand the need to have a conscious effort to know what you eat and drink.  That is why when I chatted with the people of DiabetaMil Philippines and Gary V himself, I shared my thoughts on how I personally keep myself up, even without medical maintenance, through what I eat and drink – since I am a home baker and cook too.  Knowing what you intake (food and drink) may save your life and live a life without complications.

That afternoon was made educational with the exchange of knowledge among people having the same or similar health condition. Those who attended whose love one is affected by the same health condition also shared their thoughts about the illness.  Shown also that afternoon was the new TV ad for DiabetaMil, - showing the different activities of Gary Valenciano and one of his bucketlist now done; directed by his very own son, Paolo Valenciano.

“Don’t let diabetes stop you from living your life.”- words to live by coming from a diabetic living his life to the fullest.
