[QUOTE="Hopeful Alfie, post: 439392, member: 42051"] I know exactly how you feel, as I used to eat a whole block of chocolate, sometimes daily. I should have taken serious notice of the warning fingers of others, but always said that if I was told to stop I would do so, in the same way as I stopped smoking 30 years ago. Then along came Type 2 - and luckily I did stop the choc but missed it horribly. Now controlling my BG by diet alone, and it is OK so far. HOWEVER along came temptation ! Somewhere in these hallowed pages read that a LITTLE chocolate (i.e: 3 or 4 squares) is beneficial, so I thought "Who am I to disagree with such sound advice?" and followed it ! Luckily my BG tolerates the strictly reduced choc intake. Only occasionally do I succumb to eating too much. Then panic follows when the memory switches to warnings of kidney and liver failure etc... Out comes the tester, followed by a few days of strict diet adjustment.... and so the battle continues.... [/QUOTE]
