Neil, I am a 66 year old type2 male who was diagnosed 3 years ago. I have a huge love of chocolate, especially with almonds( sorry, slurp) my mouth is watering. But I have cut down a hell of a lot. drastically. My point: first regulate and tame the urge, then make rules- one slab this week on one day, for a month then increase to one slab every two weeks, then every month and so on. but remember.
