Diabetic kidney patients face uphill battles with some keto acid analog powders. High glycemic index sweeteners like maltodextrin are often the number one ingredient. Albutrix does not contain these sugars and will not spike blood sugars like other keto acid analogs. My son is a Type 1 diabetic so we understand these issues well.
Other patients may not want to take insulin so a keto acid analog that does not spike blood sugars is very important.
