Q: Dr. Sears, I'm a type 1 diabetic and usually take 1 unit of Humalog insulin for every 15g of carbs when I eat bread, potatoes, pasta or carbs like these. I would like to know if I have to apply this when eating the Zone Bars. And also would like to know where can I buy them?
A: Since Zone Bars are formulated to control blood sugar, you will have to make the necessary adjustments with your medication and may require less insulin. As you may know, the Zone is very helpful in controlling blood sugar. In fact, we do not recommend starchy foods (bread, potatoes, pasta, rice) that spike blood sugar and therefore insulin.
