Glucerna Powder is a milkshake-style drink formulated especially for the nutritional needs of people with diabetes or with impaired glucose tolerance.
Glucerna makes a nutritional health shake, containing a slow-release, low-GI carbohydrate blend.
Its new formulation enhances glycaemic control, with a GI of 41. It is important to be aware of how the GI of different foods can affect your blood glucose levels, and Glucerna can help minimise blood glucose spikes.
Its enhanced slow-release carbohydrate system helps manage glucose response, and its fat blend that includes monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting vascular health and circulation in people with type 2 diabetes.
Glucerna , when used as part of a diabetes management plan, can support weight management as it is fortified with chromium picolinate, a highly bioavailable form of chromium which supports carbohydrate metabolism.
Glucerna is recommended as a calorie replacement for a meal, partial meal, or snack used in conjunction with a diabetes management plan. Glucerna Triple Care is a convenient, appropriate, and healthy alternative to skipped meals or unhealthy meals and snacks that have high caloric levels and low density of nutrients.
