    Diabetic question

    Would anyone know if anywhere ( e.g. HiLo or pharmacy at Boardwalk Village ) carries the diabetic meal replacement drink Glucerna? Would prefer not to bring it from home. It's just good to have in case of a low blood sugar episode

    This is from Hi-Lo about 12 minutes ago. They have canned and plastic bottles of Glucerna.

    The Hunger Smart are j$588 a bottle (price is probably wrong) and the canned shakes are supposedly $476.

    My advice would be to stop at Mega Mart, or better yet, Progressive Foods in Fairview Mall just after leaving the airport and stock up on what you think you need there and use Hi-Lo in case you need more.

    There are probably some Jamaican equivalent products, but I have no idea of their names.

    Nevertheless, you are covered here man. No worries.

    The Green Store (Quality Trader - located in our Shopping section of our Things To Do) has the Glucerna Shake Powder that makes 19 servings. I didn't catch the price but they are competitive. Looks like you have options!
