What is Glucerna?

Glucerna is a brand of meal replacement shakes and bars. It is made by Abbott, and designed specifically for people with type 2 diabetes. Those with prediabetes and type 1 diabetes may also use Glucerna. These products are low in calories and sugar and high in protein. They also contain artificial sweeteners such as sucralose and acesulfame potassium, which may cause potential health risks.

When Glucerna is used as part of a healthy diabetes diet plan it offers some promise in terms of weight management and blood sugar (glucose) control. Though the products may provide some assistance, be aware of possible complications.

Nutrition Facts

Glucerna may contain varying ingredients based on flavor, such as vanilla and chocolate, but all have the same key nutrients. According to Abbott, the makers of Glucerna, an 8-ounce bottle of Liquid Homemade Vanilla runs about 190 calories. Sixty of these calories are from fat. While the product has no trans fat, there’s a total of 7 grams of fat, with 1 gram of saturated fat. It’s low in cholesterol at only 5 milligrams per bottle.

A traditional Glucerna shake has 10 grams of protein to help keep you full — this is about the equivalent of 1 1/2 eggs. The 8-ounce bottle has 3 grams of fiber and 23 grams of carbs, but over half of those are from sugar alcohol instead of sugar. The shakes have a relatively low sodium content, at 210 grams per serving. They also have much-needed potassium to regulate sodium levels. The potassium content is 380 milligrams, about 11 percent of the recommended daily value for adults and children over the age of 4.

Along with key nutrients, Glucerna contains 25 percent or more of the recommended daily value of the following:

iron
calcium
vitamin D
vitamin B-12
vitamin A
magnesium
folate
Key ingredients are diabetes-friendly

When it comes to diabetes, the goal is to keep your blood sugar within your target range. High blood glucose (hyperglycemia) poses numerous health risks. Problems include conditions like blurry vision, nerve damage, and kidney disease. When not controlled, diabetes may lead to serious complications.

Being overweight is one risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Eating a healthier diet can help manage weight. It’s important to monitor carb intake when you have diabetes because carbohydrates directly raise blood sugar. Fast digesting carbohydrates, such as soda, can lead to sugar spikes. Glucerna contains carbohydrates that are less likely to lead to glucose spikes. Over time, replacing a fast-acting carbohydrate snack with a Glucerna product might lead to diabetes symptom improvement.

Meal replacement bars and shakes can help people lose weight by reducing calorie intake. Nutritional shakes and bars are known for having low calorie counts. But most brands contain a lot of sugar, making them an unhealthy choice for people with diabetes. Glucerna is different because its products are lower on the glycemic index and have less sugar. The company also claims its Hunger Smart shakes contain 15 grams of protein per serving, which is more than the average 10 grams in other dietary shakes.

Some Glucerna products may also contain varying amounts of:

vitamin C
selenium
vitamin E
phytosterols (for cardiovascular health)
