[QUOTE="Alisonjane10, post: 838003, member: 160262"] Hi Folks I decided I'd like to try out low carb protein bars as a quick meal replacement or more substantial snack. I'm not always ready for breakfast when I first wake up, but at work I may not get the opportunity to grab something to eat for several hours. So, my theory is that eating a protein bar would allow me to take my oral diabetic medication without my BG going stupid. I bought 2 boxes of My Bar Zero as they had a good discount & good reviews. However, when the protein bars arrived, I noticed the label said "Not Suitable For Diabetics." I'm trying to work out why considering the low carb content etc per bar. The nutrition information & ingredients are as follows. Perhaps someone could give me an idea whether these bars are ok to eat occasionally, or whether I've wasted my money. Has anyone tried them, or reading below, are you able to enlighten me. Thank you.
