Because of pre-diebetes, I am watching my carbs and I wondered what the breakdown on protein and carbs per bar would be.

My BP and RBS are quite high. You have mentioned in the nutritional value that Fat: 15.5 and Carbohydrates: 35. Will it harm me?
Hi Emanuel,
You want the focus of your diet to be on proteins and vegetables but the carbs and fat in these bars are very healthy for you and shouldn’t harm you at all.
