Is Intake Of Glucerna Diabetes Shakes With Prenatal Vitamin Safe?
Can I drink Glucerna diabetes shakes if i am also taking a prenatal vitamin (Materna). I have not been eating well and have been told it is a good way to get extra vitamins and nutrients while avoiding extra weight. Will this affect my pregnancy or unborn child?

Hi,
Most diet supplements are safe to consume during pregnancy. I would still advise you to check the same with your primary doctor once.
Glucerna SR or other diabetic supplements are generally suggested to pregnant women with PCOD, to control the total calorie intake while providing the other nutrients also. Follow the instructions printed don the label and also maintain quality intake of natural foods also.
Hope this helps.
