Better than most...
I have low blood sugar, and have used Glucerna as a dietary supplement.I would say that it definitely lives up to its claim about helping to stabalize blood glucose levels.My doctor also agrees.It comes in four flavors:chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and butter pecan.The taste is actually pretty good,especially compared to many other products, but is definitely better when the drinks have been refrigerated. ...

Great taste - I shared with the kids - and they love it too.
I was surprised by the great taste and great texture.I could easily have one of these as a meal replacement or just for that afternoon low.I gave a piece to a two and one year old and they both liked it too.So you have thier seal of approval, and we all know how picky kids are.Well worth the money - you can't go wrong buying these.ENJOY!

Wonderful Meal Bar
I am not a diabetic however; I had gastric band surgery July 2003.These meal bars have helped me with meal planning; they have a wonderful flavor with no after taste. My stomach and taste buds feel satisfied after enjoying a meal bar. My favorite Glucerna item is the Butter Pecan meal shake.Wonderful on ice and a true treat. This product is not only for people with diabetes.Everyone should get on the Glucerna healthy way of eating ... Read more

Great product for anyone with fluctuating blood sugar level
I dont have diabetes, but I do suffer from hypoglycemia which can leave me feeling very irritable and disorientated. Generally snacking on candy bars will instantly make me feel better but minutes later will make the symptoms much worse. I've found that taking Glucerna bars are a great way of bringing up my sugar level and keeping it steady until I can get a balanced meal. I've also found that they help me have better energy when eaten before going to the gym.

I have given them four stars as although they taste good and have a better consistancy than other products on the market, I wish that they were less expensive so I could include them in my diet more often. ... Read more

Great taste!
This isn't just for people with diabetes.It can be a great diet aide, candy bar substitute, or nutrition bar.The taste is very good...not the sugary taste of a candy bar of course, but it has a nice chewy chocoate and peanut taste.It is on the small size, so isn't much as a meal replacement...unless you are dieting of course. But it is satisfying and low calories (150) and can suit many purposes.Great alternative for the kids to candy!

I'm Lovin It
This is the first time I have ever wrote a review, but get ready because I love this stuff.I am about 30 lbs. over weight and being a diabetic I need to find my perfect place as far as weight management, since starting GLUCERNA MEAL REPLACEMENTS shakes and bar I have really got on the right track.It is very tasty (almost feel like I am cheating) and my sugar levels are staying almost normal without medicine I am so glad I gave GLUCERNA a try I really feel like I am going to be able to take this extra weight off.I love the taste and they are so portable a little pricey, but worth every dime I spend on it. If you havent tried it now the time dont wait any longer start today.I have lost about 12 lbs in three weeks. Sounds great hu?

Sincerely,

Best low-carb bars
Best on the market by value and taste - 60 gr. a bar with 3 gr. net carbs. Got them for $9.99 as the other reviewer but mine have expiry date of Jan 06 so I am sorry I did not order more.

I don't know what these other people are talking about!
I think that these are the best low-carb protein bars I've had so far!They are supposed to taste like S'mores!Hello!Graham crackers are not cookies!I think that these bars taste exactly like cold s'mores!Yum!!!

tasted awful!
i'm still in the process of trying different low carb bars, but i'd have to say the atkins bars are the worst tasting. they taste like cardboard.blech! and all the flavors taste almost exactly the same. AVOID!!the only good thing is that they act as a great appetite suppressant. after eating one, im not hungry for HOURS!

EXPIRED!!!
I guess I should have known that at $9.99 a box that there would be something wrong with them...I ordered the Smores and Mocha Crunch varieties of the Atkins Advantage bar, and when they arrived, I noticed that one of the boxes was past the expiration date (Dec 2004) and the other is almost expired (Feb 2005). I can't believe that they can get away with selling expired food without advertising it as such. So, buyer beware! You get what you pay for sometimes! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

All carbs are not equal
I'd just like to dispell another reviewers comment on carbs. I'm a type one diabetic and i've been thru enough nutritional classes tought by medical professionals to know that not all carbs are the same. Net carbs and net carbs only affect blood glucose levels. If you want to see it for yourself go out and buy a blood glucose monitor, test your blood before eating an atkins bar, eat an atkins bar and test your blood 15-20 minutes after eating the bar. You should notice very little difference in your BG level. The next day try the same experimant with a snickers bar or something loaded with carbs/sugar. Im sure you'll see that not all carbs are equal. ;-) ... Read more

Not your average health meal bar
I thought these meal replacement bars would be awful.The box says "Meal Replacement Bars for people with diabetes".I'm diabetic and I immediately thought I had just bought a box of cardboard.I had never been able to find meal bars or dietary supplements that tasted halfway decent.Boy was I was wrong about these bars.These chocolate peanut butter bars taste great!Of course they're not as sweet as the store bought, loaded with sugar candy bars, but they're not candy bars.These bars are really great if you need to keep to a diet plan and keep blood sugars in check.I use them now that I'm planning my wedding and sometimes don't have time to eat the way my doctors want me to.These meal replacement bars are a good compromise that don't make me horribly regret missing a meal.My one suggestion, look at the ingredients before purchasing.Some diabetic foods can upset stomachs or not agree.I've had no problems with Glucerna products to date. ...

Book Description

Works fast. Glutose 15 is oral glucose gel containing 40% dextrose (d-glucose), the kind of sugar your body most readily absorbs.Other kinds of sugar found in candy and commercial food products may take longer to work because it take time for them to break down in your digestive system.

Pre-measured.All the counting and measuring is done for you.One dose of Glutose 15 equals 15 grams of glucose.

Easy to use.The twist-off tip is easy to open in an emergency.Just squeeze the tube and Glutose 15 flows into your mouth.Glutose 15 is a gel -- so it's easier to swallow than tablets.

No mess.Glutose 15 won't burst in your pocket or purse like foil packets can.The directional tip places Glutose 15 in your mouth.It won't end up on your hands or face and won't cause cuts or abrasions.

Agreeable taste.Glutose 15 has a sweet lemon flavor and contains no artificial colors.
