Diabetes, not having Jaffa Cake
Ithey are OK they are made from sweeteners that can not be processed by the body so while the carbs are high you can’t process them

There is however bad side effects of having to many…. If your not careful you’ll have a bad belly and be say on the toilet

The carbs are probably from polyols, which shouldn't affect your blood glucose.
Enjoy! :)
