Having Diabetes doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy good food. Of course you can, but your dishes have to be smarter, and that can happen only when you choose smart ingredients. For example, you can still have delicious pancakes, but not with refined flour. Instead, choose quinoa and oats to make your pancakes. Adding Glucerna Shake to the pancake batter not only improves the taste and aids in weightloss, but it is also clinically proven to optimize glycemic response or to help normalize blood sugar levels. These shakes have 66% less sugar than other commercially available shakes.
