Jeff Cohen will share his experiences from being diagnosed as a diabetic 15 years ago to formulating this medically endorsed snack - Granola Gourmet - that tastes amazing and healthy for him to eat.

Granola Gourmet makes "Energy Bars for Athletes, Diabetics and YOU!" It's more than just a slogan; it's a way of life. What makes this product stand out is its unique positioning; they are handmade locally, 100% Natural, great tasting and satisfying but without the blood sugar spike you get from the adult candy bars in the energy bar aisle. This product is endorsed by multiple physicians including the Director of Diabetes at Cedars Sinai Medical Group in LA, a Type 1 diabetic.

The founder, Jeff Cohen, a Los Angeles resident, has been a diabetic for 15 years and was looking for a snack that tasted good AND did not spike his blood sugar. Granola Gourmet Energy bars are available at Whole Foods in Southern California , and at granolagourmet.com.
