Today, I tested my blood sugar after eating a convenient nutritional supplement cookie. I thought it would make a great everyday snack, but I was shocked by how fast my glucose spiked! It was a real wake-up call that even "healthy" convenience snacks require caution when it comes to carb count and timing.

[Summary]

• My blood sugar spiked by +76 mg/dL about an hour after eating.
• It reached a peak of 203 mg/dL.

[Data: Eating 1 Pack (2 bars) of Balance Power BIG Nut Granola]

• With wheat flour, sugar, and processed cereal as the main ingredients, one pack (2 bars) contains 14.1g of carbs. These refined carbohydrates are absorbed very quickly.

• While they are delicious and convenient with granola and chocolate chips, they contain many high-GI ingredients, making them highly likely to cause a blood sugar spike.
• My blood sugar shot up rapidly from around 130 mg/dL at 4:15 PM, peaking at 203 mg/dL around 5:15 PM. This proved that eating these alone as a snack requires extra caution.
