I tested my Blood sugar at 10:20pm and it was 82. Then had 4 pieces of these PB cups.....tested half hour later and it read 74. Tested again after an hour eating them and it tested 75.

Well...if I got results like those when I tested, I'd say that they don't affect me. I might have tested again at the 2 or 3 hour mark to make sure that the fat in the item wasn't delaying a blood sugar rise but since you're not a diabetic, I'd say your results are accurate. Having said that, I'd still only use those products as an occasional treat. Even though Maltitol doesn't make my blood sugars spike, it still causes me to stall.
Different things will affect different people. Maltitol doesn't have much effect on my blood sugars, but Aspartame makes them bounce all over the place.
Fruit makes a lot of diabetics spike, even the lower GI ones, but I can have berrries and some melons (small amounts, mind you) and not get much reaction. Breakfast cereal, OTOH, even those with only a small amount of sugar like Cheerios will make my blood sugar go up 100 points or more.
