Overview We are a manufacturer of dietary supplements formulated to help maintain healthy blood sugar, triglycerides and cholesterol and digestive health and our business focus is serving the consumer market segment of persons concerned about pre-diabetes and/or Type-2 diabetes. Our principal product is Glucose Health® and we are in the early stages of manufacturing, marketing and distributing this product. For the six month period ending June 30, 2017, we generated $34,247 of gross profit and net income of $20,249 or $0.01 per share compared to gross profit of $21,405 and net loss $125,544 or $0.05 per share for the six month period ending June 30, 2017. On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement to purchase the “Glucose Health Natural Blood Sugar Maintenance” product. The product concept is a dietary supplement formulated from natural ingredients shown in certain clinical research, such as that published by the National Institutes of Health, National Library of Medicine website (see www.glucosehealth.com/clinical-trials), to have a beneficial impact upon blood glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol levels. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a National Diabetes Statistics Report annually. Their 2014 Report estimates 2 of 5 presently healthy Americans will develop Type-2 diabetes in their lifetime. We believe this CDC Report and other similar research points to a large and growing market of consumers likely concerned with pre-diabetes or Type-2 diabetes, including many of whom are also likely seeking natural products such as Glucose Health® to proactively maintain their good health. After the purchase of the product, the Company undertook a series of steps to achieve a final product offering that would be considered efficacious as well as pleasant tasting by our target consumer market, being persons concerned with pre-diabetes and Type-2 diabetes, and would offer a value proposition relative to our competition to be considered for stocking by national and regional pharmacy retailers. To assist in achieving our final product objectives, we retained a former head of beverage product development at Nestle. We retained an attorney specializing in compliance with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and regulations pertaining to dietary supplements and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulations, necessary, in part, to enable our product to be stocked by national pharmacy retailers. We also undertook several actions to establish and build our Glucose Health® brand. The Company conducted a design competition related to its packaging artwork and product logo and retained an experienced product packaging graphic artist to assist with all digital and print representations of the product. The Company filed for and received trademark protection for Glucose Health® with the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO). While our primary sales and marketing focus is achieving sales to consumers through national and regional pharmacies, secondarily, we intend to also market the product directly to customers via our dedicated product website and through other online marketplaces. 14 Table of Contents Recent Developments On January 6, 2016, the Company executed a General Merchandise Supplier Agreement ("Agreement") with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. On January 27, 2016, the Company notified OTC Markets, Inc. of its intention to not renew its OTCQB service.

Accordingly, the Company does not make use of the OTC Markets Disclosure and News Service and instead files its periodic and annual reports and audited financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On February 4, 2016, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Murray Fleming, was appointed to the board of directors of Glucose Health, Inc. ("Company").

Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months Our principal business strategy for the next twelve months will be to implement marketing and sales initiatives and earn significant revenues from the manufacture and distribution of our Glucose Health® product. Our sales initiatives will be focused upon securing repeat purchase orders for Glucose Health® from national and regional pharmacy retailers. Our marketing initiatives will be primarily to support Glucose Health® channel sales through national and regional partners. We intend to begin advertising in and sponsoring, various print, digital and social media platforms, which align with the interest of our customers in natural products including dietary supplements related to metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and Type-2 diabetes. Secondarily to our primary sales and marketing initiatives above, we also intend to grow our online sales of Glucose Health® through sales from our product website and sales through other online marketplaces. We also intend to further develop our Glucose Health® product to introduce flavor variations of our proprietary formula and to introduce a variety of packaging options to our target consumer market segment. Use of Estimates The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, investments, intangible assets, and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 15 Table of Contents Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related footnotes included in Item 1 of this periodic report. These unaudited financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2017. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016 Revenues We generated revenues of $34,046 and $295,809 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We hope to fully implement our plan of operations by December 31, 2017 and generate greater revenues, of which there is no assurance. Gross profit We reported a gross profit of $33,774 and $21,345 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We hope to fully implement our plan of operations by December 31, 2017 and generate greater profits, of which there is no assurance, and retain and invest such profits in expanding our operations. Operating expenses For the three month period ended June 30, 2017, we had total operating expenses of $17,697 as compared to total operating expenses of $15,313 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $2,384 or 16%, in our operating expenses between the two periods is due to a $594 increase in professional fees, a $906 increase in stock based compensation and $898 increase in office expense. Other Income (Expense) For the three month period ended June 30, 2017, we had total interest expense of $5,096 as compared to total interest expense of $93,402 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $88,306 or 96%, is due to the prior year expensing of the discount on convertible notes payable. The Company fully amortized the discount during 2016. During 2017, the Company settled accounts payable for a gain of $38,277. Net income (loss) For the period ended June 30, 2017, we had net income of $49,258 or $0.01 per share as compared with a net loss of $87,370 or $0.03 per share for the period ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income is mainly attributable to the decrease in interest expense and the gain on the settlement of accounts payable.

Operating expenses For the period ended June 30, 2017, we had total operating expenses of $49,483, as compared to total operating expenses of $27,648 for the period ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $21,835 or 79%, in our operating expenses between the two periods is due to a $7,472 increase in professional fees and a $4,437 increase in advertising expense, $3,150 increase in bad debt expense, a $903 increase in stock based compensation, a $2,233 increase in office expense and a $1,937 increase in insurance expense.

The decrease of $113,509 or 95%, is due to the prior year expensing the discount on convertible notes payable. The Company fully amortized the discount during 2016. During 2017, the Company settled accounts payable for a gain of $38,277. Net income (loss) For the period ended June 30, 2017, we had net income of $20,249 or $0.01 per share as compared with a net loss of $125,544 or $0.05 per share for the period ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income is mainly attributable to the decrease in interest expense and the gain on the settlement of accounts payable. Liquidity and Capital Resources At June 30, 2017, our total assets were $27,318 consisting of $18,313 cash, $8,795 accounts receivable and $210 of intangible assets. This compares to our total assets of $33,145 at December 31, 2016, consisting of $20,542 in cash, $11,724 accounts receivable, $639 in prepaid expenses and $240 of intangible assets. At June 30, 2017, our current liabilities totaled $476,607, consisting of $98,133 in accounts payable, accrued interest of $37,997, $35,000 in notes payable, related party, $15,000 in notes payable, $112,157 in convertible notes payable, related party, $161,820 in convertible notes payable and $16,500 in other notes payable. This compares to our current liabilities at December 31, 2016 of $528,592, consisting of $138,134 in accounts payable, accrued interest of $38,631, $35,000 in notes payable, related party, $5,000 in notes payable, $112,157 in related party convertible notes payable, $164,670 in convertible notes payable and $35,000 in other notes payable. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $449,499 and $495,447, respectively. We continue to rely upon funding from two private firms, one which is beneficially owned by the Company’s CEO, to meet our working capital requirements and continue our operations. Unless we continue secure additional funding from these firms, or others, of which there can be no assurance, we may not be able to continue our operations. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had no other liabilities and no long-term commitments or contingencies. Going Concern Our independent registered public accounting firm has questioned our ability to continue operations as a “going concern.” While we expect to continue to grow our revenues and our gross profits from sales of Glucose Health®, there is no assurance of this occurring, and in the interim as we implement our plan of operations, we will seek to raise funds to meet our working capital needs principally through sales of our securities. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, even if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm believes that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue operations. 17 Table of Contents Material Commitments Notes payable, related party: On May 1, 2016, the Company issued a $35,000 note to a corporation owned by the Company’s CEO.
