You know what really annoys me, when companies make 'diabetic' food for example thorntons have diabetic chocolate but it still has the same amount of carbs as normal chocolate and tastes not good. Why would I go out of my way to buy 'diabetic' chocolate that tastes rotten when I could get much better tasting chocolate that contains the same amount of carbs!? .... Rant over.

I'm not familiar with the brand but looked it up. It may have normal amounts of carbohydrates but they're carbs that can't be fully converted into glucose (sugar alcohols and fiber)

Long story short, it shouldn't have much of an effect on your blood sugar.
