Hi,

The best option is to look at the nutrition on the label. Don't look at the sugars, just look at the carbohydrates.

Cheese tends to be low carb, or very low carb. but processed cheese may have stuff added to it, which increased the carbs a bit.

However, it is always going to be a MUCH better option than jam, or pickles, or anything like that.

Primula Squirty Cheese is low carb, for a 25g squeeze it contains one gram of carbs (of which 0.7 grams is sugar), it has 3 grams of protein, 3.7 grams of fats and provides 50 calories. I might buy some and top it on a burger with some mayo chilli.

Honest @Brunneria I am just nit picking as usual, I also like 9 bars but what about the sugar content
Is 9bar ok for diabetics?
9bars do contain sugar so they are not specifically advisable for diabetics. However as our scientific understanding of diabetes has improved it has moved away from the traditional no sugar and now promotes an overall healthy diet, specifically managing blood sugar levels.

Lol

Eat to your meter.

9bars spike me by a MASSIVE 1mmol/l at 1 hour on average. Usually dropped back to my starting figure by 2 hours.
So I take that as acceptible.

Me too - 9 bars (original) have little effect on my sugars either.
