5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!
I am hypoglycemic not diabetic and I use a low glycemic food plan. I have used this product for about 6 months and found that it really works well for managing my hunger. I have one in the morning and I am set for the day. I like the balance of carbs and proteins as well as the type of carbs that is in the product.I highly recommend it. There is one thing I have to...

1.0 out of 5 stars Great product, not-so-great price
I'm in the process of getting bariatric surgery, and part of the pre-op procedure is a two-week liquid-only diet. The main component of that diet is Boost Glucose Control, which does a good job of controlling my hunger while providing the nutrients I need as a substitute for solid food (along with other items, of course). I like all three flavors, but my favorite is,...

1.0 out of 5 stars Great product, not-so-great price, July 25, 2009

(REAL NAME)   
I'm in the process of getting bariatric surgery, and part of the pre-op procedure is a two-week liquid-only diet. The main component of that diet is Boost Glucose Control, which does a good job of controlling my hunger while providing the nutrients I need as a substitute for solid food (along with other items, of course). I like all three flavors, but my favorite is, yes, chocolate. :-)

So, why am I only giving this product 1 star? The price. As of 7/26/2009, it's listed here as being over $50 for a 24-count case. However, I can go to various local grocery and pharmacy stores (Kroger, CVS, Wallgreens, Meijer, etc.) and buy a six-pack for about $10. Do the math: 4 times $10 equals $40 for 24 bottles. I can spend the saved $10 on another six-pack, giving me 30 bottles for the same price I'd be paying here for 24 bottles. Not very cost-effective!

Bring the price down, Amazon, and I'll be glad to change my rating. Until then, sorry, I'm buying locally for the better bargain (important in the current economic crunch).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!, July 1, 2008
I am hypoglycemic not diabetic and I use a low glycemic food plan. I have used this product for about 6 months and found that it really works well for managing my hunger. I have one in the morning and I am set for the day. I like the balance of carbs and proteins as well as the type of carbs that is in the product.I highly recommend it. There is one thing I have to mention and that is Amazon's price is higher than Von's and Ralph's(supermarket chains in California). I am a bit surprised at this. Von's sells 6-pack for about $11.40 (they do not carry the 24-pack) so when you mutiply $11.40X4= $45.60 which is about $4 cheaper than Amazon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not available any more through Amazon., September 12, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love this product, use it constantly at home. I was enjoying having it delivered to my house, until I was notified that it would no longer be available through Amazon. I am disappointed, but will ultimately go back to buying it ini bulk at Walmart. Sorry Amazon.
