Diabetic products

My footie team(u14s) bought me diabetic sweets that have that very warning on it for my Christmas treat!
I'm not diabetic!
The carb count amounted to 60% of the total product!
Thinking they don't like me!
 
They always used to have Sorbitol in which really gives you the runs.
 
I do occasionally have thorntons no added sugar chocs, but only 1 or 2 a day. I also buy sugar free jelly babies and other jelly sweets off ebay, again not too many in a day otherwise my stomach gurgles.
 
These can unfortunately act as a laxative .
Hence the tummy gurgles and gripes followed by the runs !
 
If it's food no. Leave it on the shelf. If it's socks etc.....it's up to you.(So is the food I guess).

I usually run a mile from anything(diabetic) but I found some socks in lidl that were a similar price to ordinary ones and they are very comfortable and warm I wish I had bought more pairs now

Honestly no, people don't need'diabetic products' as far too expensive,additives and a laxitive affect :oops:
ps my mum used to buy these products from Boots in the 1970's when my type 1 uncle used to come and stay with us.

Only diabetic product I feel forced to buy for the comfort factor
is - seam free socks .
My very sensitive toots "demand" this ...

So I do buy diabetic friendly socks .

Never the food(s) I must add here .

Yes Anna, there's some good diabetic products around such as the one you mention above, I think we have all assumed the OP was talking about food products.
