[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1605099"] A lot depends on the type of chocolate: the amount of carbs, the amount of fat and the amount of chocolate. The carbs will be sending your mother BG high; the fat could delay this rise but it will still happen; and the amount of chocolate is how high. As [USER=68789]@Fairygodmother[/USER] mentions, dark chocolate has lower carbs so is usually easier to manage. Is your mother counting her carbs and adjusting her insulin accordingly? If not, the rise may just be because the amount of carbs she consumed with the chocolate is more than the amount of carbs she ate and the chocolate was just the straw that broke the camel's back. All sweet treats have carbs within them. This does not mean she cannot eat them. Just that the total carbs vs insulin needs to be considered. [/QUOTE]
