Any food product which has the Diabetes SA logo on it is safe for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients to consume in the recommended serving size.
The Diabetes SA logo endorsement requires products to meet strict criteria to carry the logo. Diabetes SA logo product endorsement service provider is the Glycemic Foundation of South Africa, who have had great success in managing their own Glycemic Index logo endorsement programme for many years. The Diabetes SA endorsement is approved by government, specifically for consumers with diabetes, using different criteria to the Glycemic Index Foundation and any other endorsements.

As a person living with diabetes, we are sure you are always on the hunt for diabetic-friendly food products and beverages. Each endorsed product has the DSA Endorsement Logo on it and is deemed safe to consume at the recommended serving for anyone with diabetes.

For those of you who like to know the science behind it and exactly how the procedure works, we have you covered with this simplified article, read Understanding the DSA Endorsement Logo.
