[QUOTE="Fallenstar, post: 339696, member: 36659"] Hello Smeaton Yes you possibly do misunderstand, people should eat what they want, like I said stuff the chocolate down and match it with more insulin if you like. I do what works for me and it sounds like you do what works for you, GREAT :D The OP has not got a great HbA1c and stated she has big swings in her control, the other poster has Gestational Diabetes, and is not privy to the luxury of insulin as you and I are to make as many dietary choices, so chocolate would not be good for her, and a low GI, lower carb diet would be. I wish someone had suggested that to me in my first preganancy. I think I would have had a much easier time and not have become quiet so ill. So telling her she can eat it, to me was not a good idea but you may disagree. The two posters came on looking for some alternative suggestions, I gave a few ideas,no need for anyone to get stressed or start the old Low carb, high carb diet argument...all a bit boring really and does not help anyone, and to be honest, I kind of got the feeling that is where Brennan wanted to go...must have been me that misunderstood :think: oh well, we all do it ! He'll be glad he's got a pal. [/QUOTE]
