Features
- GLUCERNA 1.2 CAL has been clinically shown to significantly reduce peak postprandial blood glucose response and reduce glycemic variability versus a standard 1.2-Cal formulation in people with diabetes.1,2
- 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.
