Why Glucerna?

Meal Replacement for people living with diabetes

Key Ingredients

Of the three macronutrient types, carbohydrates have the most marked effect on postprandial blood glucose response.

CARBOHYDRATES
BENEFIT
Fibersol®
Slowly Digested maltodextrin – which contributes to a reduced glycemic response after ingestion (glucose is absorbed slowly into the blood).
Sucromalt
Slowly and fully-digestible Low-Glycemic response carbohydrate with a sweetness of sugar. It contributes to a lower blood glucose response than sugar.
Glycerine
Low GI response and fully metabolised sugar alcohol to minimise the risk of gastrointestinal side-effects.
FOS
Indigestible but highly fermentable low GI carbohydrate naturally found in many foods.

Get better control of your diabetes, with a nutritional supplement which is shown to reduce blood glucose variability by incorporating omega-3 fatty acids, a unique fat blend and slowly digested carbohydrates.
