[QUOTE="Nick25, post: 2625726, member: 566718"] That’s interesting. I have been T1 for 50+ years and never heard that about chocolate before , though I do admit advice has always been barley sugars or similar - or these days some particularly unhelpful advice like x g of carbs. Personally I have carried mini Mars Bars or Milky Ways for many years ( they may not taste nice if very old but still contain a kick of glucose) , so I think that slowing effect to which you refer must be quite modest. Everywhere away from home however I always carry on my person , a small bag of sugar lumps. Over time they get worn and I replace them , but two sugar lumps ,ideally with a mouthful of water has a very quick effect. I do not know the science of absorbtion but can only say it starts to help faster than the time it takes to reach the stomach. As a bag of sugar lumps they are not mistaken by others as sweets.
