Glucerna Protein Smart Shake

The first ingredient listed is maltodextrin which spikes the blood sugar twice as fast as sugar. How this is ethically marketed as a product for diabetes? Maltodextrin has a GI of approx 130 and sugar has a GI of approx 65. More interested in profits and does NOT care about injuring people's health.

Works well – I started taking Glucerna Protein Shake 473mls specifically made for people with diabetes (type 2) to assist in my weight loss (overall) as a substitute for a meal replacement. I opted for the Vanilla flavour. It contains 23gms of protein, which curbs the hunger pangs and is carb steady plus low GI. I must say, after I have the liquid meal, it actually does work! The added protein helps curb the hunger, so I can go from lunch (liquid meal) to tea time with a lot of ease! The only downside is that it contains 9gms of sugar! Yikes! I find it a little too sweet for my taste. Otherwise, I'm pleased with the product compared to other shakes on the market. It is too early to say if it works with weight loss, that I will see in a few months time.

Otherwise, pretty happy with the product!
