Every morning I had Glucerna and until well into afternoon it kept me full and I did not have any shakes, headaches. it seemed to control body sugar well. The taste was excellent and I did not need to add anything else. The preparation was easy and most pleasing part was that it did not become lumpy and seemed to mix well very easy.

For people with diabetes, Glucerna products should not be used to treat hypoglycaemia, insulin shock, or insulin reaction. The carbohydrates in Glucerna are not absorbed quickly enough to restore blood glucose to a target level fast enough. Talk to your healthcare professional about appropriate treatment options for low blood glucose episodes.

Glucerna products are appropriate for people with type 1 diabetes. However, it is important to monitor your blood glucose regularly to see how Glucerna affects it, as well as your insulin needs.

As always, we encourage you to speak with your healthcare professional before making any changes to your diabetes management plan.

Nursing and pregnant women should consult their healthcare professionals to see how Glucerna would best fit into their lifestyle.

In particular, be aware of the vitamin and mineral content of Glucerna when used together with other supplements (maternal vitamins and minerals) and with daily food intake, as it may exceed the recommended dietary intake (RDI) for some of the vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, folic acid and iron.

Consult your healthcare professional before starting Glucerna.
