That's because, basically, it IS candy. And not a good choice for keeping blood sugar under control.
Reading through some of the responses in this thread, I am truly surprised. Here are a few other examples that had me shaking my head:
- Plain Cheerios right out of the box.
- Triscuits
- Utz pretzel rods
- A small banana
- plain Rice Cakes
Do people not realize that from your body's perspective there is virtually no difference between sugar and starch? They all end up in your bloodstream as glucose. Any of the foods on this list is going to cause elevated blood glucose levels.
That's because you don't eat, not because you eat the right foods.Steve, I brought my diabetes under control to the point that I no longer need medication or insulin. So with just a handful of the above foods, I am still able to keep my sugar down low. My A1c hovers around 6.2. Sometimes I get it under 6.0. That is when I do a happy dance.

That makes no sense. Probably because your blood sugar is low.One would think that is the reason. But the opposite is the truth. That is when my A1c goes up to 6.2 or higher.
I have several that are diabetic and when I entertain or bring something to their place, one of my mainstays in the house is a spread or dip.This can be used on veggies, gluten free crackers, meat, etc. Here is one of my staple snacks.
Get sweet potato and slice very thin, almost like a chip or cracker and either microwave or bake them with just a spritz of olive oil and pink Himalayan salt. Basic spread..In a bowl take regular or low fat cream cheese softened then add:diced or mined or grated Habanero peppers, Jalapeno, green onions, garlic, ground cumin, salt and mix or put all in a processor...unless you like the chunks of peppers To thin out the spread, you can use sour cream or yogurt, depending upon if you are making a spread or dip...Now spread or dip and you're good to go! Enjoy!
I have found that sometimes "Natural" has sugar or corn syrup in it. We have a PB plant that makes Teddie PB located a couple of towns over. On a hot summer day when they let the steam out, you can smell the peanuts roasting. They only make two kinds of PB. One with and one without salt. It is the only PB I will buy. The one with salt. I buy it by the bucket full. My family loves PB cookies.

25-30 grams of fiber is recommended. 97% of the US population doesn't get the recommended amount.how much fiber can you eat?
Moderated, Off Topic, Rude and nasty, go find another sandbox to play in if you can't be nice.
If every one agrees that we need to eat much more fiber and get plenty of bacteria {I hope KimChi has B12}
I need a book on this non-fad diet, I can't deal with fads, I don't even eat much kimchi. But chocolate is one the top; of the food pyramid, right? Unfortunately it has sugar in it. And it has been proven that it will kill you.
Does KimChi have essentials beyond the bacteria? I have a friend that was eating only once a day and she ate a lot of my Kimchi...that's why I have become so good at making it. It doesn't stink much but there is a lot natural vinegar in it. Organic seaweed and hot pepper powder. No added salt [except the seaweed]
