How Extend Snacks can help you
If one or
more of the descriptions below sound familiar, Extend Snacks can
help.
Your biggest
challenge in managing your diabetes is
controlling your hunger and your
weight...
Low blood sugar or large swings in blood sugar can trigger hunger, making it
extremely difficult to stay on track with your diet and manage your weight. By
helping to stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours, Extend Snacks help you
control hunger between meals and consume fewer calories at meals.
Use Extend Snacks as a tasty between meal snack to help you control your hunger
and reduce the calories you eat at your next meal an average of 21%.

You can successfully
manage your blood sugar during the
day but often wake to morning
highs...
You may be experiencing what professionals call the “Liver Glycogen Rebound
Effect” while you sleep. Blood sugar naturally drops as you sleep. If it drops
too low, your liver releases a stored form of sugar called glycogen, causing
blood sugar levels to jump dramatically.
Extend Snacks have been clinical shown to help keep your blood sugar levels from
dropping too low, preventing this Liver Glycogen Rebound Effect.
Enjoy Extend Snacks as a bedtime snack to help reduce morning blood sugar levels
an average of 28%.

Your blood sugar
levels are usually high, day and
night...
So many of the snacks we love can cause our blood sugar to rise sharply. But
with a low glycemic index and little to no sugar, ExtendBar Delights, ExtendCrisps, and ExtendShakes won’t
raise blood sugar levels significantly. So you can eat them anytime, and anywhere without
worrying about your blood sugar spiking.
Extend Snacks also help to suppress your appetite for up to 9 hours, so you’ll eat
less, which helps bring your blood sugar levels down even further.
Replace your current daytime and evening snacks with delicious
ExtendBar Delight, ExtendCrisps, or ExtendShakes to help bring high blood sugar levels down.

You find it
hard to prevent blood sugar
swings, particularly low blood
sugar...
Some of the hardest times to prevent low blood sugar are overnight and during
or right after exercise. Because Extend Snacks convert to blood sugar gradually over 7-9 hours, they provide you with a continuous source of energy to help
prevent blood sugar lows. In clinical studies, an Extend Snacks before bed reduced
low blood sugar episodes overnight by 75%.
Count on Extend Snacks before bed or exercise to help you avoid annoying blood
sugar lows.

Here's how Extend Snacks works for up to 9
hours to help...
Prevent low blood sugar
Unlike most
foods we eat that convert to blood sugar within a couple of hours, Extend Snacks' patented blend of slow-release carbohydrates, protein
and fat breaks down gradually over 7-9 hours. This helps prevent
your blood sugar level from dropping too low for up to 9 hours. The
torture test for this, not surprisingly, is at night while you sleep
and can't replenish your blood sugar, In this case, by
using an Extend Snack, the incidence of low blood
sugar (hypoglycemia) was reduced by 75%.
 |
Extend Snacks can help prevent low blood
sugar anytime it's likely to occur:
-
Overnight - when your body has no supply of blood sugar from food. An Extend Snack before bed will help prevent low blood sugar through-out the night.
-
During, and even hours after vigorous activity or exercise - when your
body uses a lot more blood sugar than normal. Eating an Extend Snack before the
activity begins helps prevent low blood sugar during and even several hours
after the activity ends.
-
When a meal get delayed – and your blood sugar levels are dropping.
Having an Extend Snack will help provide your body with the blood sugar
it needs to function properly until you have a chance to eat a complete meal.

Prevent high blood sugar
-
Immediately after eating
The carbohydrates contained in most foods we eat are faster-acting
carbohydrates that convert to blood sugar within a couple of hours and can
cause blood sugar to spike dramatically. For this reason, health care
professionals may caution individuals with diabetes to limit the amount of
carbohydrates they eat.
Extend Snacks' patented blend is different. Its unique combination of
slower-acting and faster-acting carbohydrates, combined with protein and fat
converts gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours. So like low carb, high
protein foods, Extend Snacks won't spike your blood sugar. But unlike these low
carb, high protein foods, Extend Snacks continue to supply your body with the
blood sugar it needs to function properly far longer - up to 9 hours.

First thing in the morning
What many people with diabetes don't understand is that having high blood sugar
in the morning can actually be caused by having low blood sugar overnight. This
may be the case if you find your blood sugar levels are high in the morning,
even though they were normal when you went to bed the night before.
That's because, while you sleep, your blood sugar level naturally drops. If it
drops too low, your liver releases glycogen (a stored form of glucose) into
your blood stream. Health care professionals call this the liver glycogen
rebound effect, or the Somogyi phenomenon.
When eaten as a bedtime snack, Extend Snacks help prevent this phenomenon by
supplying your body with a continuous, low level of glucose for up to 9 hours.
This helps prevent your blood sugar levels from dropping low enough to trigger
the release of glycogen from your liver. In fact, in a clinical study where an Extend Snack was eaten as a bedtime snack, average morning blood sugar readings
were 28% lower.

Control your hunger
One of
the most challenging aspects of managing your weight is controlling
your appetite, which gets triggered each time your blood sugar level
drops too quickly or too low.
Extend Snacks' slow conversion to glucose
helps stabilize your blood sugar for up to 9 hours, to prevent the
drops in blood sugar that trigger appetite, so you can keep your
hunger in check. Even better, it's been clinically proven to reduce
the calories eaten at your next meal an average of 21%.
This doesn't mean that
with Extend Snacks you can go 9 hours without eating, but an Extend Snack can
help you avoid those intense between meal cravings that often lead
to unhealthy snacking and overeating at mealtime. In addition to a
more satisfied feeling throughout the day, many people have reported
significant weight loss after using Extend Snacks regularly.

Protect Your Heart
Since so many of the
snack bars and meal bars available today are high in fat and
cholesterol and contain trans fats, it can be hard to find products
that help you manage your diabetes and also take good care of your
heart. But all Extend Snacks are low or reduced in fat, cholesterol-free and
contain no trans-fats. And our Delight bars, Crisps, and Shakes are also a good source of soluble fiber and soy protein.
So now it’s possible to take care of your heart and your
diabetes at the same time.
