First of all I love chocolate but unfortunately I am diabetic. I almost eat 40 gr chocalate a day and my bg level between 5,5-7 mmol. Furthermore im not fat and chocolate doesn't affect diabetic control. Is it has else harm?
I love Lindt dark choc. We only get the 85% here - I'd love to try the 90%.Do you like dark chocolate? I was never a fan of it but since being diagnosed with T1 I tried Lindt's 90% bar and it is really delicious and has MUCH less sugar/carbs than regular milk chocolate. Worth a try!
It depends on when you were diagnosed as to the answer you'll get.
From my point of view, Diabetics shouldn't eat chocolate regularly, as that was what was drummed into me after diagnosis, as it requires extra insulin and has the potential to spike blood glucose levels. Have it only as a treat.
From a DAFNE point of view, the answer is go ahead as long as you bolus for it correctly, which you seem to do.
From an eating sensibly point of view, eat small amounts of it in moderation as it isn't particularly good for you.
