Hello

I would like to know some inromfation about Diabetic Products, i am interested on the side effects if any, can they be used by people who are not dieabtics ? Is the quality as good ? How about the taste ? What is the streangth and weakness of those products ?
 
Do you have a specific product in mind ?
Most informed diabetics will not touch 'diabetic' foods with a barge pole ! :D
Diabetic specific products ( food) usually contain a lot of carbs and also sweeteners that send you to the loo a lot!
 
I tried a chocolate bar from Boots once.
It was expensive and not very nice

I think Hana's comment :-

"It was expensive and not very nice"

sums up Diabetic products very nicely (at least the food products). In my own personal case the dietry advice on this site is the thing that helped me the most and probably saved me a small fortune from buying 'diabetic products'.

All the best Richard.
 
74% cocoa solids chocolate from Lidl is 33% sugars and lovely. It's so intense in flavour that 1 square does me

You can make that chocolate go A LOT further by doing this:

Get the darkest chocolate you can find (85%/90%)
Melt it
Mix it with some cream (1 part choc to 1 part cream approx.)
Mix in some coconut oil (you'll have to experiment with qty's)
Pour into ice cube trays
Leave in the fridge to set...

After a couple of hours, you'll be left with "Choco-Cubes" you'll only need 1 and your chocolate cravings will disapear.

(maybe try sticking a coctail stick into each cube before it goes in the fridge. Then just pull'em out like a little mini-choc ice lolly...)
 
Oh Patch, thank you for that, when Rob is sucking on his Magnum tonight [swine :evil: ] I shall be sucking away too. :lol: :lol: . Do you think they would work with a little brandy for Christmas specials? :D :D
