Extend Sugar Free Protein Bars, Perfect Diabetic Snacks, High Protein and Fiber, Hunger Control & Steady Energy, Low Carb, Keto Friendly (12 Count, Chocolate Peanut Butter)

My 9-year-old daughter has Type 1 diabetes and we could not find a bedtime snack that stabilized her overnight blood sugar - until her diabetes educator recommended the Extend Bar. It REALLY does what it claims to do - stops blood sugar from going too low overnight. Now my daughter does not have to eat a glucose tablet in the middle of the night to keep from going too low. Her morning headaches and shakiness are gone! If her bedtime blood sugar is 120, her fasting blood sugar is usually around 100. The bars do not cause a sharp spike in blood sugar, just as advertized. Although they don't taste like real granola bars (not as sweet or moist), all the peanut and chocolate varieties are tasty enough to satisfy a picky 9-year-old. Thank you, Extend Bar! UPDATE 04/25/2015: My Type 1 diabetic daughter is now 14 and is still eating one Extend bar before bed. I am CERTAIN that Extend bars have helped stabilize her overnight blood sugar since she started eating them at age 9. The varieties with NO sugar work the best at stabilizing the blood sugar of a Type 1 diabetic: Rich Chocolate (formerly called Chocolate Delight) Chocolate Peanut Butter (formerly called Chocolate Peanut Delight) Peanut Butter (formerly called Peanut Delight) My daughter tried these new varieties but did NOT like the taste. They contain NO sugar but do contain stevia: Chocolate and Caramel Cookies and Cream These varieties contain 1 gram of sugar, so they might be acceptable for a Type 1 diabetic but are not as good as the sugar-free varieties: Mixed Berry (Haven't tried). Apple Cinnamon (No one liked the taste). DON'T buy the "Crunch" varieties if you are diabetic! The "Crunch" varieties contain 30 carbs, 10 grams sugar (!), and 5 grams of sugar alcohol - and they caused my diabetic daughter's blood sugar to spike overnight. I don't understand why the manufacturer included so much sugar! These are a NOT a good choice for a Type 1 diabetic: Chocolate Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch

These bars are so delicious. I got the yogurt &berry flavor. I’m shocked that there isn’t any sugar. (Sweetened with Stevia). They are Low Glycemic and high in protein (9g) The bar has a “frosting” coating on the outside but it’s thin which I prefer. It as a thin layer of strawberry at the top then a wafer under that which gave it a nice crunch and a nougat bottom layer that was a little chewy but not so much so that it sticks to your teeth. Sooo yummy! Great way to satisfy a sweet tooth and keep your diet on track. I highly recommend.

Great taste. High in protein

Now that I’ve tried all three flavors from my variety pack - rich chocolate, peanut butter, and peanut butter with chocolate- I can say these are worth it. A tad on the expensive side but I’m not sure I’ve seen another product with the uncooked cornstarch. I have hypoglycemia and my overnight lows are rough. These do seem to level it out quite a bit. I’m seeing far fewer incidents. The flavors are of course going to be very subjective, but I found the peanut butter was great. Moist, tasty, and just spot on. The rich chocolate was dry and the taste just wasn’t great for me, but I’m still going to eat them so it obviously isn’t that bad. Maybe that was just a less fresh set. The peanut butter and chocolate were really good too. The peanut butter is the main taste and the chocolate is a nice touch. I’ll probably just order the peanut butter flavor when I run out, but I’m very happy I found these.

Oltre al gusto squisito del nocciolato, si aggiunge quello altrettanto squisito del cioccolato, e quel che più conta è una barretta a basso indice glicemico, quindi adatta ai diabetici
