What is ExtendBar?
Developed for people with diabetes, ExtendBar is a snack bar that helps stabilize blood sugar for up to 9 hours – longer than any other snack on the market today! By doing so, ExtendBar helps to naturally control hunger, minimize diabetes symptoms, prevent low blood sugar and provide a continuous source of energy for even the most strenuous activities.
How ExtendBar works. The secret is all in the timing.
Unlike the high glycemic carbohydrates in most foods that convert to glucose quickly causing blood sugar and insulin levels to spike, Extendbar's unique combination of ingredients has a low glycemic index. So, it breaks down gradually and releases nutrients into your system more slowly and evenly, to provide you with a continuous source of energy for up to 9 hours.
This helps stabilize blood sugar levels, offering important benefits:
- For those trying to manage their weight – ExtendBar helps prevent the drops in blood sugar that trigger appetite. It also decreases the body's tendency to store fat by helping to prevent spikes in blood sugar and insulin.
- For those with diabetes or hypoglycemia – ExtendBar helps individuals avoid the annoying roller coaster ride of blood sugar highs and lows which have become an unwelcome part of their routine.
- For athletes and those who participate in any physically demanding activity – ExtendBar provides a continuous source of energy and protects against low-blood sugar for up to 9 hours.
How to Count the Carbs in ExtendBar
If you are counting your carbs – whether it's to help you manage your meal plan or determine if an adjustment to your insulin is appropriate – count only the carbohydrates in ExtendBar that have a short-term impact on blood sugar. These carbohydrates are referred to as "faster-acting" or "net carbs". The remaining carbohydrates, "slower acting", convert slowly to blood sugar and therefore, have minimal impact on blood sugar.
Based on clinically conducted continuous glucose monitoring, only 1-2 of the total 21 grams of carbohydrate in the Delight flavors have a short-term impact on blood sugar. Fiber, glycerine, maltitol, and uncooked cornstarch convert slowly and have minimal impact on blood sugar. Only 10-11 of the total carbohydrates in the Crunch flavors have a short-term impact on blood sugar; uncooked cornstarch, maltitol, and fructose are slower acting carbohydrates.
