[QUOTE="squeeze321, post: 435582, member: 37207"] Yeah, it's the carbohydrate in the foods which are labelled sugar free which cause the blood sugar levels to rise and some people mistakenly believe that if a food is sugar free that it won't necessarily raise their blood sugar levels, which is not the case. I can remember way back in 1982, my dad would buy me diabetic chocolate ( I was aged 9 ) and giving it to me when I was still in the hospital (after my diagnosis) my blood sugars would burn a hole in the ceiling! Now we have insulin to carbohydrate ratios so, providing the ratio is correct it should not matter if a food has sugar in it or not as we can bolus or inject the right amount of insulin for the food we wish to eat and still have great control.
