What makes ExtendBar such a great snack?
ExtendBar was designed to do one thing particularly well - help stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours!
Its patented formula converts gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours - instead of all at once like so many other snacks - to help even out blood sugar swings.
ExtendBar is Clinically Proven to Help You:
Control hunger by suppressing appetite
Avoid low blood sugar, even overnight
Reduce blood sugar swings
Sustain energy during exercise and recovery
ExtendBar is not a treatment for low blood sugar episodes once they occur.
An ideal snack between meals and before exercise or bed.
Sugar-free.
Gluten-free.
High in protein and fiber.
Low-fat.
0g Trans fat.
Low glycemic index & load.
How to Count the Carbs in ExtendBar:
Based on clinically conducted continuous glucose monitoring, only 1 of the 20 grams of total carbs have a short term impact on blood sugar.
Fiber (6g), maltitol (4g), glycerine (4g) and uncooked cornstarch (5g) - covert slowly and have minimal impact on blood sugar.
For use under medical supervision.
Clinically proven to help in the dietary management of blood sugar levels.
Developed by endocrinologist Francine Kaufman, M.D., past president of the American Diabetes Association, and Head of the Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism at Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
Not a low calorie food

sounds interesting...thanks for that.

I'll tell you one thing that works for me, is Zone bars (fudge works best)

If i only eat these bars, I will have 0 low blood sugar symptoms, but it seems very restrictive to just eat bars all day...but darn do i feel good.

I'm experimenting with low carb dinner with these bars for breakfast and lunch.

Thanks again for info, I'll check them out.

But i forgot to say...I am a reactive hypo, and NOT eating really does not affect my blood sugar...

Only eating high carb foods sets me off, and then i feel crappy for days.

They help me a little bit definately can't go nine hours but used as a snack or breakfast type thing and it helps alot.

I did try the Extendbar 2 days and while they might have helped a little both nights I woke up with a stomach ache. I think maybe it was the soy. So now I"m afraid to eat any more.

hey guys...i got the extend bars yesterday.

I ate one for breakfast, one for lunch, one for a snack, then a low carb dinner.

I woke up today and tested my blood sugar and had the highest reading ever!...99

I'll report back, but I think they work. Thanks for posting the info molly.

where do you get this bars i have looked but cant find them?

I got mine at Walgreens drugstore. You can also google ExtendBars and get them from their website.

i got a 111 reading yesterday. That is the highest ever reading.
