I thought @ClaudnDaye might be interested in these. You had mentioned that sometimes Liam needs a snack before bed. I recommended the Extend Bars before as a slow release carb, but you said Liam did not like them.
These Belvita bars are also the same kind of idea. They have a few grams of quick sugar and then some grams of slower release carbs. Different flavors, so maybe there is one Liam might like. (I would avoid the cranberry-orange š) I think the rest of them are pretty good. I eat them often at night when it feels like I will drop later.
I sent you a variety pack. Should be there Saturday. I donāt think the variety pack includes either the chocolate or the coconut flavors, you have to get them separately. Iād suggest either tossing the cranberry-orange, or eating them yourself. Pick one he might like to start with. The rest of them taste pretty good to me.

The chocolate ones go fast in my house.

These are pretty good, I sometimes eat the cinnamon brown sugar ones as a ārunning out the doorā breakfast. You can get a big ol box of those ones at my local Costco š

Thanks Eric! Always looking for more optionsā¦you know how kids are. Theyāre āinā to a food one day and the next food itās yucky and they donāt want to have anything to do with it. So weāre always looking for more options. Weāll give these a go!

@Eric
I eat these too, often as a lunch. But, Iām wondering what makes you call them low BG? The sandwich ones have 12 g sugars consisting of 11g of added sugar.

If your blood glucose is low, he is suggesting that you may find these suitable to raise your BG back to a good level.

Yes, what @bkh said!
Just a snack that is not too much, and it raises you back up.
And it has an extended release too.
It is not the best thing for a very low BG, but good for a slowly dropping BG.
I like them because they have a little bit of fast acting, and a little bit of longer lasting. I eat them before running sometimes.

I have tried the Belvita cinnamon brown sugar flavor and they remind me of the Dutch windmill cookies weād buy at the international shop with our allowance! And we walked 2 miles round trip to get them! šŗ

Thanks to Costco, we have some of these as well - used for treating low BG.
I like them - like the taste and the sugar.
I am a bicyclist, and like to keep something in my bags in case I get a low while cycling. I tried these, and the problem is that they break up pretty easily - so you end up with crumbs rather than cookies after a few days. So for my biking I stick with granola bars, licorice sticks, and salt water taffy. Starburst tabs are pretty good too.
