What ExtendBar does

What this can mean
for your patient

Won't Cause Post-prandial Hypoglycemia
Our new sugar-free, high protein, high fiber, low carb bars won't cause a significant rise in post-prandial glucose levels. As a result they require little, if any, adjustment to insulin levels. Considering it's also low fat and cholesterol free, this new formula is a smart snack alternative for anyone with diabetes.

A guilt free snack anytime, anywhere
Now there's a nutritionally smart snack choice your patients can eat without worrying about the need to adjust their insulin levels.

Helps Prevent Nighttime Hypoglycemia
Nighttime is the most difficult time to prevent hypoglycemia. Blood glucose can drop quickly and dramatically after only a few hours of sleep. Many people must wake several times a night to test blood glucose levels and take appropriate measures. However, clinical studies confirm taking ExtendBar before bed reduces the incidence of nighttime hypoglycemia by 75%.

A better night’s sleep!
Your patients won’t have to wake up in the middle of the night to test blood glucose or treat an episode of hypoglycemia.

Helps Prevent Morning Hyperglycemia
Waking up with hyperglycemia is a frustrating event that affects many individuals with diabetes. One cause of morning hyperglycemia is nighttime hypoglycemia. When blood glucose levels drop, the liver releases glycogen, driving blood sugar levels back up (i.e. Somogyi phenomenon; liver glycogen rebound effect). When used as a bedtime snack, ExtendBar helps prevent nighttime hypoglycemia, reducing the likelihood of the liver glycogen rebound effect. It’s the only food clinically shown to reduce average morning blood glucose levels (by 28%) without causing hypoglycemia.

Normal blood glucose levels in the morning.
Your patients can start the day off on the right foot and not have to spend the day "chasing" their blood glucose.

Helps Prevent Exercise-Induced Hypoglycemia
Being physically active, whether that be participating in sports or enjoying walking or gardening, is an important part of controlling diabetes. But, the physical exertion can cause dangerous drops in blood glucose during the activity and even hours after it ends. Enjoying an ExtendBar up to 1 hour before any activity will help guard against exercise-induced hypoglycemia for up to 9 hours – even if the activity is prolonged or intense.

Increased Energy
A more steady supply of energy will enable your patients to be more physically active with confidence, without the fear of low blood sugar.

Helps Suppress Appetite
Controlling weight is an important tool in managing diabetes. This often requires "suppressing" appetite, which gets triggered each time blood sugar levels drop too low. Eating an ExtendBar as a between meal snack helps sustain blood glucose levels to discourage unhealthy snacking between meals and overeating at meals. When clinically tested as an afternoon snack, ExtendBar helped control appetite and reduced calories consumed at the evening meal by 21%.

Weight Loss and Freedom From Hunger
In additional to a more satisfied feeling throughout the day, many people have reported significant weight loss with regular use of ExtendBar.
