Description

Glucerna 1.0 Cal is an unflavored, ready-to-hang nutritional supplement formulated specifically for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or those with abnormal glucose tolerance. This reduced-carbohydrate, modified-fat formula is designed to provide balanced nutrition while managing blood glucose levels. Each 1000 mL bottle delivers 1000 calories with a caloric density of 1.0 kcal/mL, making it suitable for both supplemental and sole-source nutrition via tube or oral feeding. The formulation includes 34.3% of total calories from carbohydrates, and it is an excellent source of high-quality protein to support muscle maintenance.

The supplement contains soy fiber to help maintain normal bowel function and is consistent with ADA and AHA guidelines that favor the use of monounsaturated fats. Clinical studies have shown that Glucerna 1.0 Cal can blunt blood-glucose response in patients with abnormal glucose tolerance, making it a reliable choice for managing dietary needs. It meets or exceeds 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for 24 essential vitamins and minerals, providing comprehensive nutritional support.

Glucerna 1.0 Cal is also kosher, halal, gluten-free, and suitable for those with lactose intolerance, though it is not intended for individuals with galactosemia. This product is designed for use under medical supervision to ensure it meets the specific nutritional requirements of each patient.
