Hi all!
I'm not a hot drink person in general. I have up caffeine due to migraines about 5 years ago and since then it's just the occasional peppermint or green tea to be sociable.
But this morning I have an unusual craving for a hot chocolate! I'm a bit confused if its ok to have? In my head its like coke, liquid sugar so a no go area! But the more I've thought this morning the more I realise it will have high fat content and so maybe wouldn't work in the same way?
What time trying to get at is, provided I take the correct amount of insulin with it is it ok to drink hot chocolate, or should it remain on my coke/sprite/lucozade bad list? I don't mean every day, just the odd one when I get the urge!
Quick refresh in case it will affect the answers given: 23y/o female, Type 1 for 3 or 4 months on MDI
Thanks
