World Diabetes Day: The Skinny Food Co Story and Diabetic-Friendly Inspiration
Every year on 14th November, the world comes together to recognise World Diabetes Day — a global awareness campaign that shines a light on the millions of people affected by diabetes.
For us at The Skinny Food Co, this day carries a deeply personal meaning. Our entire brand was born out of love and necessity — inspired by our family members who live with diabetes and were struggling to find the foods they loved, without the sugar.
“We were originally inspired to create the range, both having diabetic family members forced to go without their favourite foods. There was a distinct lack of alternatives available to them. Initially, we launched with healthy table sauces — BBQ, Ketchup and Chip Shop Curry. All gluten free, fat free, dairy free, vegan friendly and diabetic friendly with no added sugars.
The demand was incredible — we sold over one million bottles in our first year. We now sell over 500 different products, from sauces and syrups to high-protein, low-sugar snacks, flavoured coffees, meals and more. But honestly, it still feels like we’re only just getting started!”
From those humble beginnings, The Skinny Food Co has grown into a household name for sugar-free, low-calorie, and diabetic-friendly foods. Our mission remains simple — to help people enjoy their favourite flavours without compromise.
