[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 979529, member: 12578"] I hate the whole diabetic chocolate idea but I wonder if the 75 g of carbs per 100 gram is a bit misleading. They claim that these products are reduced sugar. They have to include all carbohydrates on the label though and that includes polyols. So for example if you look at this one it has 55g per hundred grams of which 32g is polyol. [URL]http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-No-added-sugar-Belgian-Milk-Chocolate-Wafers-100g_982835/[/URL] They give a portion size of 2 wafers which is 7.9g of carbs of which 4.6g is polyol (so perhaps only 3.3 carbs that will effect glucose; although some people find they have an effect) Of course the laxative effect of large amounts of polyols can be awful for some people. .
