Ensure for Diabetes

Ensure compared to Glucerna for diabetes nutrition needs

Ensure is NOT suitable for people with diabetes. While it has been scientifically formulated to support strength, energy and immunity¹, a Diabetes-Specific Nutritional Formula (DSNF) is indicated for the nutritional management of diabetes or pre-diabetes. DSNFs should be consumed as part of a diabetes management plan which includes a healthy diet and exercise.²

If you’re after a DSNF with the scientific credibility of Ensure, Glucerna (from the same makers of Ensure) is the only DSNF backed by over 30 years of scientific evidence with more than 60 clinical studies. ³
