type 1 & chocolate?

[Wurst]

I love dark chocolate these are my favorite brands :-

Excellence 90% Cocoa 100g by Lindt
Vivani Dark 92% Cocoa 80G by Vivani

I tend to have a bar a two on the weekends , they have a minimal effect on B/S and almost make me feel 'normal' again

I eat it when I want it, I just cover the carbs

This has inspired me to plan a series of chocolate related experiments using my new CGM..
All in the interests of science of course!

I volunteer to assist, it's a tough job but somebody has got to do it...

I have a snickers or two a few times a week. Just jack up 5u Humalog per bar. Covers me with no significant spike.

I love dark choc wit hazelnuts one piece per day, cover it with my meal insulin and it's fine, couldn't live without it, it stops the craving for other sweet stuff. although I do have a slice of cake occasionally - just cover the carbs.

Does the insulin not impair the flavour of the choc

I have a couple of bits of dark chocolate everyday, usually after dinner. This is a lot less than I ate before I was diagnosed five months ago. I could not do without it. I'm afraid it's love
