Glucerna health shakes contain a unique blend of slow-release, low glycaemic index (GI) carbohydrates that help minimise blood sugar spikes when compared to fast-release, high GI carbohydrates.²
In scientific studies, Glucerna shakes were compared with instant oatmeal.² It was found that after 3 hours, Glucerna resulted in a significantly lower blood glucose response (smaller rise in blood glucose levels) than instant oatmeal. ²

Glucerna provides complete, balanced nutrition¹

• A healthy fat blend that includes monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and omega-3 fatty acids – for supporting blood vessel health and circulation in people with type 2 diabetes.³
