February 26, 2010 8:11 PM Finally got around to trying it. Vanilla is ok, strawberry is awesome. Haven't tried the chocolate flavor yet. I've been drinking it for breakfast and lunch and having a reasonable dinner. Kind of a slim fast diet. I've been taking off 1-2lbs a day! Pros:Feel great, good way to get all those vitamins and minerals. Strawberry has a great taste Really great for my weight loss. Cons:Not filling/small, but easy to get used to. Vanilla is just okay. |

January 10, 2010 5:32 AM I saw where someone posted that they mix it with milk in the am. I never thought of that but it is a great idea to help make it not so rich and to make it last longer. Pros:I will have to give the milk mixture a try. Cons:It is still expensive. |

January 10, 2010 5:25 AM Tastes pretty good; as mentioned, is a meal replacement beverage, good for when you are sick and/or your appetite is weak. |

January 9, 2010 6:06 PM I like these when I am not really hungry but need to have something. I like the chocolate the best. Sam's club does carry these shakes. Glucerna also has a meal replacement as well as the shake. I also like the cereal Pros:very good. it is available by the case at
it is a little pricey. |

January 9, 2010 4:00 AM I love this product. i have glucerna mixed with milk every morning for breakfast. i am NOT a morning person and making a breakfast is NOT for me. this gives me enough protein to keep my sugars in the right spot until snack time then lunch. Pros:fast, easy, tasty |

November 11, 2009 5:14 PM Glucerna is NOT for anyone who is on blood thinners. It has a high Vitamin K contact and just negates the effect of the blood thinner Coumadin. Pros:Easy Cons:Blood thicking effect. |

October 27, 2009 8:57 PM Actually, Glucerna is a meal replacement drink — and therefore intentionally loaded with calories. See my interview with a nutritionist on just this topic: http://www.diabetesmine.com/2008/07/what-is-glucerna-good-for.html Pros:* Good for those trying to GAIN weight
* If you already eat “healthy” then you probably have no need for all the extra calories that go along with the vitamins and minerals! |

October 25, 2009 5:38 AM I like the french vanilla the best or home made vanilla. It tastes really good cold poured into a glass I have had in the fridge getting cold itself. Rather than straight from the can, Pros:I use it now as a quick pick me up. I need to buy some. Cons:It is very expensive. |
