For diabetics what % cacao is better?

If you are diabetic, look at the label for carbohydrate grams. For this particular brand of dark chocolate,the higher the cocoa content, the lower the carbs. (60% = 20g carbs, 72%=17grams, 86%=15grams)The darker, the better for diabetics, always choosing a small piece.

I take a small piece of unsweetened in my mouth along with an equal amount of semi-sweet and chew them together. The combination, to me, tastes at least as good as any dark chocolate candy bars, but much cheaper. (The combination comes out as 76% cacao.) Some times I take a tiny sip of my favorite liqueur with each taste; fantastic!

It should say on the label how much percentage it has of the cocoa. Not sure about the health benefits.

Amazon sells raw cacao powder by 'Health Works'. I add about a third of a cup plus at least a tablespoon ground flax once in a while. But I always put ground flax seed in cuz there aint no fiber in Plant Fusion. The cacao 4 grams fiber in 2.5 TBS. and 3 grams of protein. At a third of a cup the cacao packs a bit of a punch of fiber and protein in addition to the protein the Plant Fusion has. I tried it with V8 and it was vile tasting.

It is raw Cacao powder, which is not heated as much as cocoa powder in processing so the antioxidants are not destroyed. It is also much less bitter. We make our own chocolates with this and they require very little sweetener. It costs more that Cocoa, but it is healthier and very delicious!

I don't know for sure, because there are no nutritional values listed on the label, i.e., fat content, carbohydrate content, sugar, sodium e.t.c. Does anybody know. It seems to be pure but can not tell for sure. I use it to make sugar free dark chocolate, with sugar free Cocoa powder and Stevia powder instead of sugar

I drink Glucerna daily. I'm not diabetic but I do watch my sugar intake and this product satisfies my "sweet tooth". I love it and my husband is a diabetic and he likes the strawberry. Homemade vanilla for me always!!!!!

In my opinion the chocolate taste pretty good in water only, the vanilla not so much. I recommend the chocolate over the vanilla any day, has better consistency and less bloating. That's my opinion.

More info. I contacted company and they said 100% caco. The higher the caco, the higher the flavonoids.

I am a diabetic and very careful about carbs and calories as well as sugar and other factors. Total carbs are 6% with a total of 170 calories. I take a fraction of the bar each time I wish some chocolate (35 calories per section).

Check with your doctor to make sure, but one bar would be a reasonable snack for most diabetic people. Since it has 22 grams of total carbohydrate but has 5 grams of fiber to subtract from total carbs, it counts as 17 grams toward your total carbohydrate intake for the day, or about one carb unit for most people.

The regular (non-light) version of the product has 28g of carbs total: 2g of fiber and 26g of sugar. The nutritional label can be found here: http://www.corepower.com/chocolate-26g-products-4.php

And it reads "Spirulina has 2300% more iron than spinach, 3900% more beta carotene than carrots, 300% more calcium than whole milk, and 375% more protein than tofu."I'm led to believe its referencing comparable concentration measures. Not ounce for ounce measuring.

My A1C is better and my daily blood sugars seem to be better . I am not good about avoiding fats and I noticed that when I have too large a serving of ribs my sugars don't shoot up like they used to. I have replaced ice cream with Eddy's Outshine bars.... Best thing that I found so I can have "feel good treat" and only get max 100 calories

Less carbs/starch can tell the difference when I eat regular rice in my blood sugar
