My blood sugar tends to get wonky on long rides or in our inferno like heat. It aggravates my movement disorder so I love the little sugar packed punches. For me it seems like once I replace the low sugar my body stays happy, I doesn't "crash" like a lot of people I know. I prefer the Sharkies and Sport Beans. I use Cytomax for Electrolytes though so I rely on the sugary chews for something else.
