You can sometimes find the odd packet of sweets or something in bigger supermarkets such as Tesco but there's not a proper range, as far as I know you really have to look online.My son is type 1 and obviously he likes sweets etc like most children. Although I'd like to steer away from sugary sweets and maybe just have them as treats at parties etc. Does anybody know where you can get a range of low carb/low or no sugar sweets from. I've just ordered some from amazon but I can never seem to find any in supermarkets.

Yes, they're my next place to try, thanksHolland and Barrett have a reasonably decent range including chocolate with stevia
That's a good idea for when being active, that may get my son out walking moreThere are sugar free polos that are very readily available if he likes mint. There's also a range of sugar free sweets in little boxes branded Ricola.
There don't tend to be so many sugar free sweets aimed at children because they contain artificial sweeteners which can have a laxative effect (some kinds) or just be something many parents wish to avoid.
I have normal Haribos for hypos sometimes if I fancy a 'treat', and I also enjoy normal sugary sweets on walks and hikesThey keep my blood sugar up and it's a nice opportunity to have something I don't eat on a regular basis.

I know, I don't like the idea of them myself, I was always going for the sugar option before he was diagnosed because I preferred him to have that in moderation than the artificial sweeteners but to be honest with you, most things I'm looking at sugar free are either aspartame or sucrolose. I've just recently bought some pure stevia sweetener sachets off amazon, but as I said, sweets & drinks are not so easy to come by.I suggest you steer clear of " sugar free', if it means that they are using aspartame or Sucralose.... as they are not good sweeteners! Stevia or Xylitol are much healthier... Just check which sweetener they are using! Good luck...
