Great taste
Worked great for me as I was diagnosed with diabetes in pregnancy. I satisfied my cravings without raising my numbers. It is a bit pricey within my region but I would definitely recommend
I have always found the flavors a little strange but being diabetic these are a great way to get the extra nutrition you need with out having to eat so much sugared products. The price is'nt too bad
Good substitute drink for a diabetic. Flavors taste very good. Lots of nutrients. Very good as a snack or meal replacement. Serving size/bottle could be a little bigger.
being diabetic myself and always on the go sometimes eating on time everyday is hard so i am thankful
for glucerna nutrician shakes they work to help level your sugar levels and keep you feeling full untill your next meal the shakes come in a variety of flavors...250-mL cans; 12/case: in
Vanilla
Chocolate

my pick for a flavor is chocolate these shakes actually do taste great ive tried some others meant for diabetics and they tasted horrible glucerna actually tastes like your drinking a chocolate milkshake or pudding, the price is a bit hefty at $25 for a case of 12 but it does wonders to keep your levels and health just right here are some specs..

Consistently maintaining optimal blood sugar levels over time can help reduce the complications of diabetes.

Kosher
Fat blend
Supplemented with 1.9 g of fiber and 1.13 g of FOS‡ in each 250 mL serving
Glucerna contains a modified fat blend high in monounsaturated fat. The Canadian Diabetes Association recommends consuming monounsaturated fat instead of saturated fats more often.1
How does Glucerna work?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body is not able to use nutrients normally. This results in high levels of glucose in the blood, which can damage tissues and cells. To control glucose levels, people with diabetes must usually follow a healthy diet (among other management techniques), but it's not always easy.
Clinical studies show that the slowly digested carbohydrate system in Glucerna provides more consistent blood glucose levels when compared to a standard medical nutritional liquid.2 The fat blend (high MUFA, low SFA)* is consistent with dietary recommendations. The complete range of vitamins and minerals supports overall good health. And Glucerna Nutritional Drink is available in a range of flavors for a convenient meal replacement or snack.
How is Glucerna different from other products?
Glucerna provides a unique, slowly digested carbohydrate system specially designed for people with diabetes. Its effectiveness in providing more consistent blood glucose levels when compared to a standard medical nutritional liquid2 has been demonstrated in clinical studies. The macro nutrient profile (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) in Glucerna is consistent with dietary recommendations. It contains a high-MUFA, low-SFA* fat blend. And the convenient choice of liquid in a range of flavors supports compliance with a healthy diet.
