Summary: Another Fine Glucerna Product for Diabetics
Comment: The similar Kellogg's products are only slightly lower in total carbohydrates than Glucerna's. More importantly, one must evaluate how those carbs affect diabetics. I cannot determine for anyone else, what their glucose response is; however, for me, the initial glucose spike from Kellogg's product was significantly higher--nearly double--that for Glucerna's over the next three hours.

I suggest that all diabetics do similar tests before you settle on any cereal, including Glucerna's.

Summary: Would not recommend
Comment: I got a coupon for this and tried it. In my opinion, Kellog's Fruit Harvest is a much better option (half the cost at my store, much better taste and consistency, lower in net carbs, and way more strawberries). I was glad I got this for free, so I did not feel so bad separating out the few strawberries and throwing out the rest after trying it twice.
