[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 540128, member: 41816"] Yup - I would have the same reaction. Fat slows down digestion and absorption of carbs. There is fat in chocolate, but none in weetabix. Also, we usually eat weetabix on an empty stomach - so it is digested quickly. Did you eat the chocolate after other food? That would have slowed things down even more. As a veteran chocolate binger (no offence, but you sound like a rank amateur, if a bag of chocolate buttons is your peak experience!) I can tell you that the creamier the choc, the better I used to tolerate it (galaxy better than dairy milk, better than manky Easter egg choc), but when I hit full blown diabetes I abruptly had to switch to 70% cocoa solids as my previously legendary tolerance vaporised. I can now only cope with about 4 tiddly little squares before the sky falls on my head. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
