More Info Specialized Nutrition for Enhanced Glycemic Control GLUCERNA 1.2 CAL is a calorically dense formula that has CarbSteady�, a unique blend of carbohydrates, including slowly digestible carbohydrate clinically shown to help minimize blood glucose response,1and fish oil to support cardiovascular health. For patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. For patients with hyperglycemia/abnormal glucose tolerance resulting from metabolic stress, such as illness, trauma or infection. For tube or oral feeding. For supplemental or sole-source nutrition. Use under medical supervision. Features GLUCERNA 1.2 CAL has been clinically shown to significantly reduce peak postprandial blood glucose response by 49 mg/dL (69%) and reduce glycemic variability versus a standard 1.2-Cal formulation in people with diabetes.1 At 1.2 Cal/mL, patient needs can be met with less volume. 20% of calories from protein to promote anabolism and support wound healing.
