Ultra Glucose Control by Metagenics is a premium medical food designed for the nutritional management of glucose response in people with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance.
It features a clinically balanced 40:30:30 ratio of carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Powered by exclusive MetaRelease® technology and slow-release UCAN SuperStarch®, it delivers steady energy for hours while helping prevent sharp blood sugar spikes and crashes.
Clinical research at the prestigious Joslin Diabetes Center proves its effectiveness. In a 2016 study published in Nutrients, Ultra Glucose Control produced significantly lower post-meal glucose levels and better insulin and GLP-1 responses compared to Glucerna and oatmeal.
A separate 16-week trial presented at the American Diabetes Association showed strong results. Participants using 1–3 servings daily in a structured plan achieved A1C reductions of 0.63% to 0.67% and weight loss of 6 to 8 pounds — better than an individualized diet plan alone.
Engineered to maintain healthy blood sugar levels in the critical period following a meal, this formula features 15g of slow-release carbohydrates to prevent rapid glucose spikes. This sustained energy delivery is paired with 7g of dietary fiber from gum acacia and oat hull fiber, which further blunts the glycemic response. Additionally, Olive Oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, ensuring a balanced macronutrient profile that supports cardiovascular wellness without compromising blood sugar stability.
Ultra Glucose Control provides a high-potency suite of metabolic co-factors, including Chromium Picolinate (340% DV), a trace mineral essential for the proper functioning of insulin receptors. The formula is also fortified with Zinc and active B-vitamins to optimize insulin function. High levels of Selenium, Zinc, and Copper provide an antioxidant defense, helping to protect cells from the oxidative stress often associated with glucose imbalances.
To ensure maximum cellular absorption, the formula features methylated B-vitamins, including Methylcobalamin (B12) and Calcium L-5-MTHF (Folate). These “active” forms are essential for individuals with absorption challenges or genetic MTHFR sensitivities, ensuring the body can utilize these vital nutrients efficiently for metabolic support.
Each serving provides 13g of clean Pea and Rice protein isolate, enhanced with added L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine (BCAAs). Maintaining lean muscle mass is vital for glucose management, as muscle tissue is the body’s primary site for glucose disposal. This fortification supports both structural muscle health and efficient systemic glucose metabolism.
Ultra Glucose Control is a strictly non-GMO and gluten-free formula with 0g added sugars. Naturally sweetened with Monk Fruit, it provides a professional-grade nutritional solution that allows for effective glucose management without the use of artificial sweeteners or unnecessary additives.
Unlike typical shakes, Ultra Glucose Control is a Medical Food featuring MetaRelease® technology. It provides a steady-state delivery of glucose over a 4-hour window, preventing the spikes and crashes associated with standard maltodextrin-based drinks.
MetaRelease® (UCAN SuperStarch®) utilizes a heat-moisture treated amylopectin starch. It passes through the stomach quickly but is absorbed slowly in the small intestine, maintaining stable blood glucose levels without a large insulin surge.
Ultra Glucose Control differs from retail brands like Glucerna because retail brands often use fructose or higher-glycemic sweeteners, whereas Ultra Glucose Control is formulated with slow-release carbohydrates to prevent insulin surges.
Ultra Glucose Control is available in both Chocolate and Vanilla.
Ultra Glucose Control is offered in both 14 Serving (26 oz) and 30 Serving (56 oz) sizes.

For individuals managing Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance, the daily struggle is often defined by “the spike and the crash.” Standard nutritional shakes frequently rely on rapid-access proteins or hidden sugars that trigger insulin surges, often leaving the user fatigued shortly after consumption. Ultra Glucose Control® is engineered to break this cycle by utilizing…
When managing your blood sugar, the goal is often more than just achieving a specific number on a lab report. It is about how you feel from hour to hour. While many people focus solely on long-term markers like A1C, a significant challenge for those with insulin sensitivity is metabolic flux. This refers to the…
