I don't eat Jelly Beans, mainly because I think they are disgusting. Any
that amount to 15 g of carb would work though. I get those little bags of
Swedish Fish or other sugary candy at Halloween time. Usually one package
is enough for a hypo.

They do but they serve no purpose. They still contain carbs and calories
and usually sugar alcohols.

Jelly Belly makes many different kinds of SF jelly beans.

And, they are a little bit disgusting. They are much ... stickier. Someone
bought some for me as a gift a few years back. 'Nuff said.

I remember the horrid sugar free candies my parents bought when I was a kid.
I think they were Sorbee brand. They would stick to your teeth and never
want to come off. You could have one in your mouth all night! And they
didn't taste too good either.
