The new Glucerna® is Abbott’s most advanced diabetes nutrition formula to complement your diabetes care plan. Glucerna® is scientifically formulated to support diabetes management. It now has four times higher inositol* which helps the body convert sugar into energy and remains low Glycemic Index (GI)1 with an advanced slow-release carbohydrate blend and a unique dual fiber blend of oat and FOS, that helps the body produce insulin naturally. Each serving also delivers 10 g of a high-quality triple protein blend and provides complete and balanced nutrition with 35 nutrients to support your daily nutrition needs. It is a convenient yet nutritious choice that may be used as a meal replacement or part of a meal to support diabetes dietary management.
*800 mg inositol per one serving of Glucerna® vs previous formulation.
Glucerna® products are appropriate for people with type 1 diabetes. However, it is important to monitor your blood glucose regularly to see how Glucerna® affects it as well as your insulin needs. As always, we encourage you to speak with your healthcare professional before making any changes to your diabetes management plan.
Glucerna® products can be incorporated into a person’s diabetes meal plan and overall management plan.
Yes, studies have been completed with Glucerna® products in a population of pregnant women with diabetes or with gestational diabetes. Nursing and pregnant women should be aware of the vitamin and mineral content listed on the labels and discuss Glucerna® usage with a healthcare professional when combined with other supplements (maternal vitamins and minerals) and daily food intake.
Nutrient levels in Glucerna® have been designed based on nutritional recommendations for adults. Consult a healthcare professional to help develop a meal plan incorporating Glucerna® products.
People with prediabetes need a high-fiber diet while limiting saturated fats. Glucerna® is high in fiber and low in saturated fats, so it can be used by people with prediabetes.
It is safe for someone without diabetes to consume Glucerna®. However, Abbott Nutrition has many other options, such as Ensure®, for people without diabetes to integrate into their meal plans. Glucerna® nutritional drinks are specially designed for people with diabetes. Glucerna® products are intended to be used under medical supervision to support the dietary management of diabetes.
Glucerna® products can be used daily. Individual needs depend on many factors, such as age, gender, level of activity, and health status. Consult a health care professional to discuss the amount of Glucerna® that is right for you.
Our Glucerna® nutritional drinks are gluten-free and are therefore suitable for a gluten-free diet.
All of our Glucerna® products contain a maximum of 24 mg of lactose per serving. Compared to a glass of milk, which has 10,000 to 12,000 mg of lactose per serving, the amount of lactose in Glucerna® is very low. Therefore, Glucerna® is suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
* Compared to a standard nutritional drink.

For people with or without diabetes, Glucerna® products should not be used to treat hypoglycemia, insulin shock, or insulin reaction because the carbohydrates in Glucerna® are not absorbed quickly enough to restore blood glucose to a normal level fast enough. Talk to your healthcare professional about appropriate treatment options for low blood glucose episodes.
