[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2094540, member: 209498"] Welcome to the forum [USER=510375]@Smiler69[/USER]. I think a lot of us T2s had a liking for sweet stuff, which contributed to us becoming diabetic. I found that 'sugar free' sweets like Ricola and Sula helped me to get a 'sweet fix' after my T2 diagnosis. They are available in most supermarkets and health stores. But be careful of how many you eat, the sweetener in them does have laxative effects. I gave up milk chocolate and started eating dark chocolate instead, which I now prefer. The higher the cocoa content the lower sugar/carb content in this. Over 80% cocoa content is best. Before I could eat a 500 gm of milk chocolate in an evening, now a couple (or 4!) squares of dark chocolate is enough. I couldn't drink tea or coffee without an alternative to sugar. I tried various sweeteners and found Sucralose suited me. You can make sugar free cakes and cookies yourself using sweetener. There are lots of recipes on this forum, on dietdoctor.com and on [URL]http://www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/[/URL] Ask as many questions as you want, the people on here are friendly and supportive.
