Yes.
92 grams of carbs a day in just excess empty sugar?
That is more total cabs than I eat in a WEEK.
The filling of those things is just High Fructose Corn Syrup and egg whites with flavoring added. Really nothing at all to do with chocolate.
If you want to slow or eliminate the progression of your chronic disease, try to lay off the empty carbs and maybe exercise more. Maybe 1 or 2 of the MINI bars a day wouldn't be too bad. If you freeze them they tend to last a bit longer.
We all have times when we eat things we shouldn't or have more of something we like than we should have. As long as these are occasional things I think it's OK, but you have made a habit of eating something every day that you know is bad for you.
IMO A 160 FBG is way too high.
Good luck, I know habits and mindsets are difficult things to change, but for your long-term health I would try to find some legitimately healthier alternative.

Welcome to the forums, I hope you stick around, there is a LOT to be learned here.
