Did you know that 6MM (23%) of Hispanics in the United States have diabetes, compared to 20MM of non-Hispanic whites? And that an estimated 57 million people have pre-diabetes in the US, with 35% of them are estimated to be Hispanic? I sure didn’t! What I did know is that my grandfather died of diabetic complications. I also have an uncle who’s trying his best to keep his diabetes under control and a cousin who’s basically pre-diabetic. It’s something that I’m very familiar with and I believe that we need to do all that we can to help spread awareness about diabetes  within the Latino community.

Glucerna products are known to help diabetics satisfy their hunger and sweet tooth while minimizing blood sugar spikes. Among the Glucerna meal replacement plan sold at Walmart are bars and shakes in a yummy variety that have CARBSTEADY® or CARBSTEADY®ULTRA, which include slowly digestible carbohydrates that are designed to help minimize blood sugar spikes so that you or a loved one can keep steady ahead (check out this Steady Ahead Video ). We all know that steady is exciting!

Glucerna makes it easy for those who are managing their blood sugar, as well as managing their weight, to plan out their meals without sacrificing taste.

To help spread awareness I decided to share my favorite sugar free Tropical Parfait that includes the Chocolate Caramel Glucerna Bars.

What you’ll need for one serving:
1 cup of greek yogurt
1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut.
1/2 cup of sugar free canned pineapple.
1/2 cup of almonds.
3 Chocolate Caramel Glucerna Bars

How to:
Cut Glucerna Bars in half and chop into small pieces.

Spread some of the Glucerna bar at the bottom of a cup.

In a small bowl, mix greek yogurt and coconut and then place 3 tablespoons of  mixture into the cup over the pieces of Glucerna bars.

Top it with pineapple and almonds.

Repeat layers until you fill the cup and then top it off with pieces of Glucerna Bar and coconut.

Simple to make and yummy to eat! Make sure you check out Glucerna and their amazing meal plan options at Glucerna.com and save $1 off any one Glucerna product. For more info on the amazing variety of shakes and nutritional bars visit Glucerna.com.
