[QUOTE="Lisa_87, post: 339695, member: 31012"] I completely agree with Fallenstar- it is far better to try and minimise the potential for blood sugar fluctuations by minimising your carb (and therefor sugar intake) even if you are able to match your carb to insulin requirments, it is not an 'accurate science' and so the potential for blood sugar to spiral out of range is increased by consuming a high amount of carbs. My sweet/fat chocolate type cravings are sorted out by eating desiccated coconut mixed with cream, add in a bit of splenda, or whichever sweetener you so wish, and hey presto! Absolutely no effect on my blood glucose levels! I also quite like the fat free normandy fromage frais, grate some lemon rind and a tiny bit of extra dark chcolate over the top- a bit more of a blood sugar effect, but nothing compared to having that 'little' bar of chocolate!
