Sugar levels aren’t always the same … they go up, they go down. Here are some of the reasons why: 2
Up?
- too much food, or food/drinks high in sugar
- stress
Down?
- more exercise than usual
- missing a meal or waiting too long to eat a meal or snack
- drinking something alcoholic on an empty stomach

A distinct carbohydrate blend
Glucerna bars’ carbohydrate blend is what sets it apart from other products. Rather than sugar being immediately broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream, this carbohydrate blend is digested slowly.1 For a more complete description of how Glucerna bar helps you manage your blood sugar levels at snack time, see The Glucerna Science.
Chewy goodness! That’s what you’ll get when you reward yourself by opening the package – a nutritious, delicious snack that is helping you manage your blood glucose levels at snack time. When you’re in between meals, or looking for a little bedtime treat, indulge in a Glucerna Bar.
Nutrition made easy
Each bar contains only 150 calories! Packing 26 essential vitamins and minerals, 6 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fibre, you can be snack happy. It’s the ideal amount of carbs for a snack, too – only 17 grams of available carbohydrate in a Chocolate Graham Bar, and 18 grams of available carbohydrate in Lemon Crunch. And it is kosher.
A healthy product is what’s behind our tasty bars, which complies with the Canadian Diabetes Association nutritional guidelines.2
So go for a walk, go for a swim, and don’t worry if lunch is going to be a little late today. Glucerna Bar has you covered with the energy you need as a snack.
