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)

Pretty good taste for a sugar free "Rich Chocolate" snack bar with low fat (2.5gms) and manageable carbs (19gms) of which 6gms are fiber and 12 gms of protein for this bar. Other flavors have similarish nutrition but also different taste.

Absolutely delicious and amazing and I love them! So are they SNAP eligible or not because when I ordered them it said they were and I want to buy them again and now it's saying it's not?

These are a perfect meal replacement with a low sugar content and minimal impact on my blood sugar. Excellent for snacks or meals on the go. Great flavors and variety to choose from

These have greatly helped my husband combat Dawn Phenomenon--which in diabetics is a significant spike in blood sugar that occurs overnight, when the liver releases stored sugar, as it does in some people, apparently mistaking a fast while sleeping as a period of starvation. My husband's blood sugar numbers had been consistently in normal range from the time he ate breakfast until the time he'd gone to bed, but upon waking every morning had been much higher than they should have been, and wouldn't start dropping into a normal range until he'd eaten a high protein breakfast. Now, when consuming one of these bars right before going to bed, his blood sugar remains at a good level and does not spike higher than it should overnight. The stress hormone Cortisol plays a role in triggering blood sugar spikes while sleeping also, so he takes a Holy Basil capsule or two, to keep his Cortisol in check, too. This combination has worked wonders to help him control his blood sugar. He often takes 2 Tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar in a full glas of water in the evening to help counter any carbs in his evening meal, and puts cinnamon in a cup of green tea in the evening. He'd previously been on the type 2 diabetes medicine of time-released Glipizide, which had caused him to gain more than 30 lbs., even though his routine diet had been a consistently low-carb one, and he'd experienced almost nonstop blood sugar spikes and crashes the entire time he'd been taking it. Since going off the diabetes medicine several weeks ago, however, he's already lost almost 25 lbs of the weight he'd gained while taking Glipizide, and his blood sugar levels have improved dramatically! These Extend Bars had resolved the final missing link of keeping his blood sugar at a normal level overnight, so it would no longer spike while he was asleep and be elevated until he had breakfast. Great product! It works! If you are looking for a super-tasty high protein candy bar or meal replacement bar, you may want to look for something else, but if you're a diabetic having concerns about either high blood sugar spikes or hypoglycemic blood sugar crashes while sleeping, I would definitely recommend giving these a try!

I've tried some of these bars, both getting a sampler from the manufacturer, and this box. I like the bars, and they work for me as a diabetic. I'm very glad that there are companies making products like this. Unlike some others I do genuinely enjoy the taste. But in the end I feel that at nearly $2/ea, they are pretty over-priced. There are other products, like from Atkins and South Beach that are just as tasty and healthy, but much less expensive. Update 11/19/13: Now 3 years later, the Extend bars are more competitively priced, which is great to see. However I still prefer the Atkins bars, which are tastier. At least now, if you like the taste of these, they are affordable, so I give them credit for that.

No estan muy ricas y no tiene información de cuanto es el porcentaje del valor del dia de proteína tiene solo dice que tiene 11 y no dice el valor diario ni porcentaje como otras marcas y estan muy secas y pequeñas y si las llevas en tu bolsa por en caso de salir se derrite el chocolate no me gustaron

I'm always leery about new sugar free products. When they arrived I just had to taste these bars. Delicious. I like a sweet treat once in awhile but have to watch sugar intake. I ordered the chocolate peanut butter. Tasty. But I'm hoping they will get the chocolate caramel in. I will be purchasing these again.

A few months ago, at age 62, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. My doctor suggested that in order to get a handle on the problem, I needed to start testing my blood sugar levels on a daily basis so I could discover which foods my body likes ... and, more importantly ... the foods my body doesn't like. As it turns out, I'm extremely carb sensitive and have started eating a low-carb diet. It has made an incredible difference in my numbers and weight, and I'm now well within the good range, except when it comes to my fasting blood sugar numbers. They were still very high. I did a lot of research and it was suggested that I try eating a snack prior to bedtime, a snack that combined some carbohydrate with protein. I tried a number of different food combinations, and although some of them did bring down my fasting numbers to some degree, none of them got the blood sugar levels to the target range I needed. I was getting really worried because from what I was reading, it appeared that the fasting number was the most critical and if it remained high, even if my other after meal numbers were excellent, I would probably need to go on medication at some point in order to bring them down. I was freaking out over this until I came across a blog that discussed the ExtendBar and it's ability to lower the critical fasting numbers. About 90% of the individuals who had tried these bars had incredible success. I, therefore, decided to give them a try and I am so glad that I did. The drop in my fasting numbers was immediate and has continued to be well within the optimum range ever since. My only negative comment, and this is only slight, is that the taste leaves something to be desired. I must say, however, that I haven't tried all of the choices and will continue to experiment until I hopefully find a flavor I like. Having said that, they are definitely more than edible and their ability to lower my numbers will mean that I will continue to purchase these bars and incorporate them into my regular diet no matter what. So, in closing, if you are having difficulty getting your numbers to the levels you need, you definitely should purchase these bars and give them a try. It can't hurt if you do, but it can certainly hurt if you don't.
