I discovered that Russel Stovall cany has a diabetic kind that you can find at Dollar General stores for $1.65 per bag with 6-8 piececin them and they taste great plus the Co-Co-Cola company has a new Diet Coke with splender added in it. My doctor hooked me up with the soda and I hate diet soda , but if you let it get real chilled then drink it, it taste pretty good. After a week you will glady go to the store for them.I have tried ever diet drink there is but this taste is best with splender. I do not care for splender but in this case it is great. My weakness are sweets also so I know how an addiction feels. Jackie J Hi All!

I'm type 2 diabetic and this added more weight. Stopped after two weeks. Sugars rose when I drank it. Now back to high 80's or low 90's AC1 went from 6.7 back to 5.4. Won't drink again.

By some of the comments I'm guessing that boost with glucose is okay. I love glucerna but on my budget cannot afford but maybe a 6 pk a month. Looking at some of the ingrediants on back of the pack. Cards are kind of high and sugar also. So I'm kind of scared to buy it because I'm type 2 but syill have to take the shot plus melformin. Any advice more? Thanks, JJones Hi Everyone !

I think ill just stick to eating chocolate to help my sugar levels up. It doesnt seem to do me any harm as long as i exercise regularly. I don’t think we can get this Glucerna over here.

If a person change from Glucerna which have been authorized by a physician to glucerna 1.2 would there be a stomach problem? My wife gets sick often I am trying to track down the problem so we can explain it to the doctor. Its may not have any thing to do with with my wife problems I am pulling straws to see if I can come up with something. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.
