Hi, Thanks for writing in. Glucerna and ensure are recommended supplements for nutrition in patients. Sorry to hear your husband has throat cancer. Hope he is having early stage of disease and is under recommended treatment. He can take glucerna and ensure in a consistency which is easy for him to swallow. Having throat cancer means that he will have difficulty and pain during swallowing. Please give him a watery consistency that will not stick to his throat and cause irritation. It should also not enter his airway and cause cough. In a fine liquid base with water or milk he might be given the feed in dose recommended for his nutritional needs. Please do not worry.
