hey, i was just wondering if no sugar chocolate is the same as labelled 'diabetic chocolate.' i know that you shouldn't have diabetic foods as it has the same amount of transfats and a heap of sweetener, so i was wondering if no sugar chocolate was the same. it probably is...

Customer helplines that use recorded menus that promise to put me through to the right person but never do - and being ill. Oh, and did I mention customer helplines :)
Do you have a product name as I'm not sure what you mean by no sugar chocolate, all I can find referenced is no added sugar chocolate?

I would say look at what the nutritional information lists the carbohydrates as.

It can be confusing but just remember that lactose found in milk is a form of sugar so unless you go for the really horrible dark chocolate than there will always be a certain amount of lactose in the chocolate.
i like dark chocolate (bournville etc) so thought i'd go for the 80% dark chocolate rather than diabetic chocolate - and it's vile!!!

i have heard that you should go for a good quality normal choc and just have a couple of squares at a time. my prob is that i'd want more than 2 squares!!!!

My son made me a chocolate mousse tonight with no sugar ( or substitute ) and no cream. Just chocolate, eggs and fresh orange juice. It was yummy and only about 8 grams of carbs! I'll try and remember to post it in recipes. :)

Once in a while I treat myself to sugar free chocolate, biscuits, etc. They are not bad.
Many thanks,

I'm glad you found chocolate mousse, easy to make, few carbs and full of chocolate... it's a mainstay for pudding round here.
