Enjoy a Glucerna bar. Any time you like.

Keep a couple of bars with you – in your briefcase, purse, or knapsack … it’s a healthy and convenient snack that just makes good sense. Waiting for a delayed flight? Late getting home for dinner? Long wait at the doctor’s office? A bar will satisfy your hunger pangs, and give you a nutrient-rich lift.



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
