[QUOTE="Scottish Mum, post: 958119, member: 186018"] I have bought some sugar free sweets at times, but need to keep them at a minimum, as some of the polyols used can give me a gippy tummy. I can cope with maltitol, but sorbitol seems to make me ill. I have mint humbugs & Atkins chocolate bars for emergencies. I almost jumped with joy when I saw Tesco with sugar free lemon sherbet and mint humbugs, but their versions are impossible for my stomach to cope with. As time goes on, and my fruit content is upped, I need sweets less and less. I'd rather have fresh or frozen mango and strawberry whizzed with unsweetened almond milk, and a few blueberries now. It's a major mystery to me, why, all my life, I've hated blueberries, but now that my blood sugar is mostly under control, I like them. I also freeze them and use those as sweeties. They're awesome and do the trick. Our local supermarket often has loads on offer, so I buy them cheap, then freeze them. I also freeze fresh strawberries and use those, as I find it hard to stomach the bought frozen strawberries. They always seem to have a more chemical taste to me, even if it might be in my imagination. [/QUOTE]
