The Federal Commission for the Protection against Health Risks (Cofepris) posted an alert due to a miracle cure against diabetes. It is a product that claims to be the solution against this condition.
The diabetes It has become one of the country’s biggest public health problems. In Mexico alone there are around 12 million patients. In addition, there are more people who could have the condition but do not know it due to the lack of medical check-ups.
Cofepris warns about a false diabetes treatment
With this in mind, the highest health authority accused the product D standard to deceive the population. It all starts because it is announced as a nutritional supplement in capsule presentation intended for people with diabetes.
Diabetes in the world: what will the outlook be like in 2045?
As part of the surveillance actions carried out by this health authority, it was detected that the product is advertised in an erroneous and exaggerated manner. In fact, it is attributed properties in the treatment or cure of symptoms associated with said chronic-degenerative condition.
What are the symptoms of diabetes?
- Increased thirst and urge to urinate.
- Increased appetite.
- Fatigue.
- Blurry vision.
- Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet.
- Ulcers that do not heal.
- Weight loss for no apparent reason.
Dietary supplements are not medicines
D standard characteristics of a medicine are assigned; However, it lacks a health record issued by this federal commission, which is why it fails to comply with the provisions of the General law of health.
In addition, misleading advertising violates the regulations of the General Health Law regarding the promotion of products through the Internet, social networks, self-service stores and independent distributors.
The manufacturing and/or importing company has not provided scientific evidence to support that the ingredients declared on the label or composition of the product actually increase the total dietary intake.

These ingredients include extracts of cinnamon bark, bitter melon, banana leaf, neem, cactus, moringa, white oak, chromium, gelatin and magnesium stearate.
The manufacturer has not published its response
Until now, the company responsible for the product D standard has not presented to this authority the necessary studies to guarantee its safety, effectiveness and quality. Therefore, the origin of the ingredients, their sanitary conditions, manufacturing processes, storage and transportation are unknown.
Therefore, this deceptive product can cause side effects and health risks, due to the combination of natural and synthetic ingredients in different proportions.
The anti-diabetes product that no one should consume
Cofepris urges you not to acquire or recommend the use of D standard nor any other product that fails to comply with current health legislation. If you have a condition associated with diabetes, the population is urged not to self-medicate and go to a health professional to obtain a specialized diagnosis and determine the treatment.
Finally, since it is a deceptive product, it should not be marketed or distributed by any means. If the provisions are contravened, this health authority will apply the appropriate administrative sanctions. Likewise, the population is urged to file a health complaint if they have information about the illegal marketing of this product.
