Injectables and global variables

I'm having some difficulties with Ionic 2 and setting up global variables. The structure of my app is as follows:

Main app
  |
  |--- Page1 (Info)
  |--- Page2 (Map)
  |--- Page3 (List)
         |
         |--- ItemTabsPage
                |
                |---tab1
                |---tab2
                |---tab3

My intention is to show a list in Page3, and once one item is selected, to show additional information in tabs.

I send the information from Page 3 to the page with the tabs using:

itemTapped(event, item) {
    this.nav.push(ItemTabsPage, {
      item: item
    });
  }

The problem is that I can't do the same to send the info to the child tabs. I would like to show different information depending on which item is selected. I have tried defining an injectable globalVars.js to store the value in a variable:

import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core';

@Injectable()
export class GlobalVars {

  constructor(myGlobalVar) {
    this.myGlobalVar = "";
  }

  setMyGlobalVar(value) {
    this.myGlobalVar = value;
  }

  getMyGlobalVar() {
    return this.myGlobalVar;
  }

}

and then updating the code of itemTapped in the list as follows:

itemTapped(event, item) {
        this.nav.push(ItemTabsPage, {
          item: item
        });
        this.globalVars.setMyGlobalVar(item);
      }

However, I always get the same error:

Uncaught EXCEPTION: Error during evaluation of "click"
ORIGINAL EXCEPTION: TypeError: Cannot read property 'setMyGlobalVar' of undefined

The code for page3 is:

import {Page, NavController, NavParams} from 'ionic-angular';
import {ItemService} from '../services/ItemService';
import {ItemTabsPage} from '../item/item-tabs/item-tabs';
import {GlobalVars, setMyGlobalVar} from '../../providers/globalVars';

import {Http} from 'angular2/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

@Page({
  templateUrl: 'build/pages/item-list/item-list.html',
  providers: [ItemService]
})

export class ItemListPage {

  static get parameters() {
    return [[NavController], [NavParams], [Http]];
  }

  constructor(nav, navParams, http, globalVars) {
    this.nav = nav;
    // If we navigated to this page, we will have an item available as a nav param
    this.selectedItem = navParams.get('item');
  	this.http = http;
  	//this.items = null;
    this.globalVars = globalVars;


  	this.http.get('https://website-serving-the-info.com/items.json').map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data => {
  		this.items = data.items;
        },
      err => {
          console.log("Oops!");
  	});

  }

  itemTapped(event, item) {
    this.nav.push(ItemTabsPage, {
      item: item
    });
    this.globalVars.setMyGlobalVar(item);
  }
}

Anyone have any suggestion? My Ionic installation is:

Cordova CLI: 6.1.1
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.1
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.1
Ionic Framework Version: 2.0.0-beta.4
Ionic CLI Version: 2.0.0-beta.25
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-beta.15
OS: Distributor ID:	LinuxMint Description:	Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
Node Version: v5.11.0

I tried adding [GlobalVars] to the return in river-list.js but if I do that, the app gets blank and it doesn't start...
