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.
