[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1647447, member: 408573"] Those of us with T2 and poorly managed bg have a tendency toward fungal infections such as Thrush. As for chocolate, all carbs at levels of the western diet are addictive and chocolate even more so for a number of reasons. It has the exact fat to sugar ratio that our bodies find almost impossible to deny ourselves and because it can mimick chemicals in the brain that directly affect the 'pleasure centre'. Chocolate is perhaps one of the hardest of the baddies to give up alongside bread. If you like dark (over 85% cocoa content) chocolate then an occasional square after a lower carb meal can be acceptable. [/QUOTE]
