You're on a diabetes forum here. I like to go on holiday as well, but do you have any questions about diabetes?

Diabetic chocolate is good or bad

 

[Rosie9876]

I like everything! But there’s lots I can’t eat because it’s too many carbs. I like my above ground vegetables. I also like chicken & my favourite breakfast is scrambled eggs with smoked salmon & I like a couple of squares 95% Lindt chocolate as a treat

You mean 90% Lindt chocolate, surely. 2 squares with coffee after breakfast also my go-to.
I was tempted by a Ritter dark chocolate hazelnut bar because it was on offer. Disaster.

 

[julieclarke]

Ok

Have you had diabetes chocolate

No the 95% - I’ve still got a supply of it then it will be the 90%

The old marketed chocolate could act as a laxative if over consumed.

Would be interested to know what sort of chocolate this is. What is the brand? Where do you buy it?
This info about chocolate and diabetes could be useful

Chocolate and diabetes

There’s a myth that you can't eat chocolate if you have diabetes. But you can eat chocolate, just in moderation and not too often. Try not to eat a lot in one go as it affects your blood sugar levels. If you snack on chocolate regularly it may start to increase your cholesterol levels and make...

I didn't know Lindt did 95% - at least not in UK. They do 85%, which I'll buy at a pinch, and I recall 100% - but not recently. Their 90% has considerably lower carb/sugar than say Waitrose own brand 90% and I find it quite tasty. Pricy these days, but not compared with Hotel Chocolat.
