Benefits

The slowly digested carbohydrates in Glucerna products are clinically shown to help provide more consistent blood glucose levels compared to a standard medical nutritional drink or snack bar.1,2
Key to Glucerna products is their unique blends of slowly digested carbohydrates. "Slowly digested" means that sugar is not immediately broken down and absorbed into the blood, which helps avoid peaks in blood sugar. Consistently maintaining optimal blood sugar levels over time can help reduce the complications of diabetes.
