I eat Grenade Carb Killa protein bars because they are sugar free. They do however contain Polyols as sweetener, which some people find raise their blood sugars just as if it was sugar. I however don’t get any blood sugar rise. The only way to find out if they affect you is to test before and after trying one.Hi are protein bars and protein drinks safe to have and what's the best fruit to have every day
Good to point out the polyols - Carb Killa bars are about 20-25% polyols,, so for me (T1) they contain equivalent to 15g carbs per bar. Great for my bike ride but otherwise I'd rather have an apple.I eat Grenade Carb Killa protein bars because they are sugar free.

I have nothing to say about protein shakes, I don’t use them!
With regard to fruit, I only eat berries as they are lower in carbs.

bg means blood glucose or blood sugar (sometimes referred to as finger prick tests). This is the only way of knowing for sure how your body deals with these kinds of food and drinks.I exercise after protein drinks and bars, what's a bg test ?

I don't eat any protein bars/drinks. That's not because I've tested them and found they affect my BG. I try to stick to stuff that where possible isn't made in a factory.Hi are protein bars and protein drinks safe to have and what's the best fruit to have every day
