A product and method of producing a product and a system are taught usefully in providing nutrition whose glucose content is compensated for by embedded insulin containing capsules. The invention includes techniques to protect the insulin in some environments and which release the insulin in other environments to form nutrient which has a reduced impact on the blood glucose concentration when ingested. Such protective techniques include encapsulating insulin in pH-sensitive hydro-gels which protect insulin in low ph environments and expand to release the insulin in higher pH environments. Additional stabilizing coatings can enhance long term storage of the insulin compensated nutrient.
