[QUOTE="Adam63, post: 379891, member: 40080"] I understand that they contain sugar alcohols, such as maltilol. Maltitol syrup has a glycemic index of 52, whereas sugar is 60 - so it probably has much the same effect on blood glucose levels. Maltitol is metabolised in your body to glucose and sorbitol, thus it is just an alternative way of taking glucose. I suspect these biscuit products are not really appropriate for diabetics. Why not make your own biscuits using Truvia as the sweetener? They may not hold together and be as firm as biscuits made with sugars or sugar alcohols, but you can be assured they are low in quick release sugars. [/QUOTE]
