What is the glycemic index and glycemic load of Extend Snacks and why is it important?
All Extend Snack flavors have a low glycemic index (GI), and our Extendbar Delights and ExtendCrisps also have a low glycemic load (GL). The GI and GL provide good indicators of how much your blood sugar will increase within two hours of eating a particular food. This is very important to know when youre trying to manage your blood sugar levels — whether your goal is to better control your diabetes or manage your weight. Unfortunately, the GI and GL only measure blood sugar response for 2 hours the time in which most commonly eaten carbohydrates digest. But unique snacks like Extend Snacks, offers a benefit other low GI and GL foods cant. It converts gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours. So they continues to help stabilize blood sugar levels long after other low-carb snacks have stopped.
