The Neuhaus sugar free chocs are great, but have Maltitol on the ingredients list. Will give them to someone I don't like.

Can you please tell me where to buy Thorntons diabetic chocolate in London? I live in Toronto, Canada but will be visiting my family in NW London for the month of April. There's a Waitrose nearby & I'm not too far from Brent X & other major shopping places. What's the price of this chocolate? Many thanks ...

To the anonymous poster who forgot to log in - a word of warning. Thorntons Diabetic chocolates come with a warning that they can have a laxative effect. This means that they have substituted the normal sugar content with a sugar-alcohol (maltitol, xylitol or sorbitol).
<b>These substitutes contain exactly the same carbohydrates as sugar so will have the same effect on your blood glucose as pure sugar.</b>
If you still want to buy them then here is a link to their site.

They supply by mail order as well as their retail stores. The site includes a store locator.

Unfortuneately I can't eat chocolate, it is one of my migraine triggers, which is a real ******.:evil:

Hi all
I'm a bit late coming into this scrummy subject. Having been a member of Hotel chocolate for 4 years (I received a box every 3 months) It is expensive but worth it. Now I am diabetic (not as a result of the chocolate eating) I developed gestational diabetes when pregnant with my daughter (it's her fault)
At christmas i tried a box of the low sugar chocolates and enjoyed every minute of them. Ate a couple every night after dinner.
I agree everything in moderation
xylitol is only slowly absorbed and partially utilized, 2.4 calories per gram or 40% less than other carbohydrates. xylitol is also a little kinder to your tums than other sweetners.
It also inhibits the production of plaque on your teeth, leading to a reduction in tooth decay. (scientific bit over - I must leave the day job at work)
