Healthy Diabetic Bakery Products Launched Nationally

INDIANAPOLIS, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Diabatrol(TM) Bakery Formulation is being launched nationally by Crawfords Bakery and Diabco Life Sciences, LLC, the manufacturer of Diabatrol(TM), a new nutraceutical dietary formulation for managing blood glucose naturally. Diabatrol is among the first diabetic dietary formulations to meet the regulatory requirements for all claims made under the U.S. Dietary Supplements, Health and Education Act (DSHEA) administered by the Food and Drug Administration. Diabatrol's natural bioactive ingredients have been scientifically documented in clinical trials to lower and stabilize blood glucose levels an average of 33% over a 60-90 day period.

The Concern about Diabetes

Crawfords Bakery, an Indianapolis bakery established in 1981, has secured the exclusive right to market the new Diabatrol Baking Formulation to retail and wholesale bakeries nationwide. "This initiative is designed to bring healthier bakery products to our customers, and is an important step in helping reduce the health risks associated with diabetes and pre-diabetes", says Rick Crawford, Co-Owner of Crawfords Bakery and President of a National Bakers Association buying and best business practices entity operating as the RPIA at http://www.rpia-usa.org. Under the agreement with Diabco Life Sciences, Crawfords will assume responsibility for marketing the Diabatrol Baking Formulation to the over 10,000 retail and wholesale bakers throughout the United States and Canada. In addition, each participating retail bakery will have the opportunity to offer for sale the Diabatrol Consumer Cartons, each containing a convenient 30 day supply of Diabatrol packets for daily use at home and while traveling.

The Diabatrol Benefits

"Diabco Life Sciences is pleased to have this alliance with Crawfords Bakery, and we are particularly pleased to have the opportunity to announce this program at a time when diabetes education and awareness is being emphasized by the Indiana Dietetic Association", says Thomas A. Stergar II, Managing Member of Diabco Life Sciences, LLC. "Diabatrol not only contains clinically documented bioactive ingredients to lower and stabilize blood sugar levels, but it also embodies a full range of natural whole grain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and dietary fiber which help provide the daily nutritional balance that Type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics need to maintain healthy glucose metabolism", says Paul Reising, Director of Research and Business Planning for Diabco Life Sciences.
