[QUOTE="picklebean, post: 350182, member: 38236"] From what I know, it's generally recommended to steer clear of products marketed as 'for diabetics'. They have very little benefit and often cost a lot more. They may have lower sugar but as you have discovered, to make them taste ok they have other things added, like fat, to make up for the lack of sugar. It's often the other way around too... low fat yoghurts are very often packed full of sugar. Right form the start when I was diagnosed T1 20 years ago, I was told it wasn't worth the hassle/money/risk of laxative effect to buy 'diabetic' products. They offer no benefit over normal products. The best thing is to have the real thing, but in moderation... that's my opinion anyway! :D [/QUOTE]
