Excellent Oat Bars!! I agree that these are a little high in sugar to be in the healthy diabetic category, however, as Jace68138 said, you just have to be creative about it. Like for example.... use Splenda Brown Sugar instead of regular. It significantly reduces the carbs and leaves only the carbs from the oats.... which are very slow absorbing and don't "spike" your glucose levels. I am type one diabetic, and even with the recipe shown, with the regular brown sugar, I only have to add 2 units of humalog insulin for my meal to be able to indulge in one of these DELICIOUS oat bars with it! Also...when I made these, I used half semi-sweet chocolate ships, and half DARK chocolate MILDLY sweet chocolate chips....and, for melting them, I used regular old skim milk instead of condensed. It worked perfect! The dark chocolate helps to add healthy antioxidants as well. A+ recipe!

Slosh29.. I understand that every is just posting opinions. But when you come from a family that has diabetics you have to learn to read the ingredients first before you make something OR allow them to "taste" it. This recipe as for 3 others have way too much sugar and carbs for any smart and careful diabetic to try.

i agree with the posts. there are too many "big name" website out there that advertise "low carb" yet there are 20+ carbs in a serving. my husband doesn't eat 20 carbs in a whole meal. i just came across a recipe posted here. Search for PB&J Cupcakes. Only 7 carbs for 1 cupcake!!! (or here's the link http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/pbj-cupcakes/7c30d3d7-bb4c-41fb-8901-616825c5e6d2 )

you list these recipes as diabetic! and they have 18 gms of sugar in them. come on betty Crocker and do the sugar free with less then 10 grams of sugar. You should have more skilled help you with the newer recipes with splenda and other ingredients
