Low Glycemic Oat Nut Bars for the Diabetic image

My husband is a chow hound. Unfortunately, he is a Type 1 diabetic. I am always searching for recipes he can enjoy without causing a huge swing in his blood sugar levels. These little gems satisfy that snack attack, are rich in nutrients, fill him up, and do not spike his blood sugar.
