Glucerna shakes

I am on day 3 of pre-op liquid diet and it is not so bad. (all but the Glucerna shakes going right through me) The Diet requires 6 cans of Glucerna Weight loss shakes per day, I could only find Glucerna shake for Diabetes is this the same thing? I seen on a previous post the pre-op diet is a low carb diet to shrink the liver, this shake is loaded with carbs (26 per can). I am beginning to get confused.

Hello. I've seen Glucerna for sale but am not really familiar with it. You might see if they have a website that you can get info from or call if there is a number on the can to find out the info you need.

I did check the web site and only found one type of shake maybe I am using the right one but the high carb content has me over-thinking this
Thanks

Hello Mink, I took glucerna for my pre-op diet because I am a diabetic and I had to be careful with the other protein drinks. I believe the glucerna drinks are primarily for diabetics because it helps stabilize our blood sugar. They are pretty good when cold also.

OK I have to tell everyone... I bought Glucerna because I thought I should try something different.. The first one I drank I was very happy because it tasted so good a lil while later I was out and I started to feel faint then cold sweats then I felt like I will be sick and very weak.. Then it went right through me like the same liquid coming out the other end. OK so I thought maybe this was somthing else so I drank one this morning.. and the same thing happened now I am in bed sick. I hate glucerna!!!
