BOOST PLUS NUTRTIONAL SUPPLEMENT

I just wanted to put this out there for you Mel. I know you were just given the CFRD diagnosis, SO if you end up trying the Boost Plus check your sugars a little more often when you do drink them. I only say that because I noticed that with the boot plus I get a really prolonged spike in my blood sugar. I will be fine for a few hours but like 3-4 hours later my sugar will shoot over 250 if I am not careful. I think it has to do with the higher protein in the shake.

Just wanted to put that out there so that you are aware.

Take Care,
Lindsey

Thanks Lindsey! With my current shakes I spike almost immediately so I will definitely need to check more frequently as I figure things out!

mel, boost has about 325 calories per serving, the 1800 you are reading is probably for the whole pack of them.

Mark uses one, Serious Mass but has met some dislike from others because of it's high sugar content. Some with diabetes use it just fine and other's can't because it spikes their bs.... I can send you a scoop of it to try if you are interested, or try to get some samples from the company now that we are running a business of our own. Let me know. PM me with your addy if you are interested and I'll send you off a scoop this week. That one has 1250 calories per serving, but it's not in a can, it's one you make in a blender.
