Glucerna Hunger Smart Shake with CARBSTEADY FAQs
Is Glucerna good for diabetics?
Glucerna shakes and bars are specifically designed for people with diabetes or people trying to manage their blood sugar. Glucerna products are intended to be used under medical supervision as a part of a diabetes management plan. People without diabetes can also safely consume Glucerna products.
Can Glucerna products be used by people with prediabetes?
All Glucerna products have been designed to help minimize blood sugar responses and can assist in weight management and play a role in a diabetes management plan. Consult a health care professional to develop a plan that is right for you.
Are Glucerna products suitable to use for low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia)?
For people with or without diabetes, Glucerna should not be used to treat hypoglycemia, insulin shock, or insulin reaction because the carbohydrates from Glucerna do not elicit a large blood glucose response and would not help restore blood sugar.
How do you use these drinks?
- Use as a meal or to replace an unhealthy snack
- Store in a cool, dry place. While Glucerna is best served chilled, it can be stored on a shelf until ready for consumption
- Shake well before drinking
- Once opened, be sure to refrigerate and use within 48 hours
- Should be consumed as part of a complete diet - not to be used as the only source of nutrition
- If frozen, be sure to consume before thawing (product will begin to separate once thawed)
What is the difference between Glucerna and Ensure?
Glucerna and Ensure are both made by Abbott Nutrition, the #1 doctor recommended brand with almost 100 years experience in the healthcare space. While Ensure is an excellent option for general nutrition, Glucerna is specially designed to support those with diabetes.
