These are my new obsession. How bad do you think they are for me, if I take proper insulin before hand? My sugars go crazy all the time as they are, so I can't really tell as it is.
One bar has 24 grams of carbs and 12 grams of sugar. I usually eat one or two before working out to prevent from going low. I assume the fiber in them helps me, also.

| | | As with anything else: Test, test, test, then once you know how your body handles them go from there.
Hope they work out well for you! |

| | | Steve,
As genie said, testing is the key. How much fiber is in each bar?

| | | SO 22g of carbs (24 carbs - 2 fiber). Too high for me, but if they work for you, great!

| | | Steve, I eat them from time to time myself. As long as you are covering for them (with the insulin and exercise), I don't think they will be much of a problem. Like genie and Dave have said, testing is the key. Try one when you aren't exercising to see how you do then, too.

| | Good idea! I have been on a real exercise kick lately, but it won't last for long I'm sure, so I'll make sure to test then.
I keep forgetting different foods affect people differently. Sorry!
