So,
recently I was given the chance to try out a ton of Level Life Products and tell you
folks what I thought about them. I've been offered other products to try and review before,
and I am careful about what I would recommend to anyone: there are many, many,
MANY products out there on the market claiming to understand the needs of
persons with diabetes, and selling all manner of things, particularly shakes
and meal replacement bars. I hate most of them, and tend to not endorse many. They tend to have a lot of sugar, or be a lot
higher in carbohydrates than I would personally want.
Enter Level Life.

Level Life started out as a company that makes glucose products to help treat
hypoglycemia, in more delicious flavors than just chalky orange... So when
Level Life contacted me, stating they now had shakes and bars and the like, for me
try out, I perked up. You see, Level Life is a company that was founded by a
young man who lives with type 1 diabetes. A person with diabetes who couldn't
find what he needed out there -- and knew the rest of us probably couldn't,
either.
Finally, a diabetes management product by someone who gets it!
I am always in the market for the best shake, or meal replacement bar -- one with not a lot of carbs, that won't make me feel sick later... and let me tell you, this is it. I lead a pretty fast paced life these days, since I have two jobs, and often have to squeeze a meal or a snack wherever I can get it.
These products are fantastic. The bars have around 140 calories, with 14 grams of carbohydrate per bar, and the shakes have around 170 calories, and 10 grams of carbohydrate per shake. They are rich in protein and fiber. I tended to feel satisfied for long stretches, and my blood glucose remained nice and level. Many of us do not want to exceed 140 mg/dL wherever possible, and most shakes and bars can quickly put me at 180 mg/dL. I tested regularly while trying these out, and I feel confident that I can trust Level Life to help me keep my blood glucose goals, and to keep a level lower than 140 most of the time. These products are also gluten free for those of you suffering from any form of gluten intolerance.
I have to admit that I am pretty biased and my favorite flavor is the Rich Caramel Shake. I just grew up with too many vanilla, strawberry and chocolate diet products, or glucose management products... and well. Yuck. lol While ALL of these were actually good tasting compared to other products, I'll stick with Caramel. :-D Thanks. But if you miss strawberry flavored milk, though, you will like the Strawberry Creme shake. It's just yummy!
Level Life has been very generous in their efforts to try to get the word out about their great product, and have given me the opportunity to give away a generous package to one of my lucky readers! You too could win a premier bundle of bars and shakes valued at $60.
To enter, you just have to do three things:
A winner will be chosen at random and will be announced Saturday, July 12th. Good luck!!
