[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 155372, member: 19121"] Hi Daz, any supermarket that is saying that T2's can eat sugar is just being irresponsible at best and down right dangerous at worst, as far as I am aware every health professional whether they endorse low carb or not are united in saying avoid sugar. I eat a couple of squares of 75% cocoa dark chocolate now and again and enjoy it but I have always liked dark chocolate, most 'diabetic' chocolate and sweets will have artificial sweeteners which can cause diarrhoea so be aware! Most people say to avoid 'diabetic' products for that reason. If you really must have something sweet, milk chocolate or something have it with or after your dinner that way it will take longer to be digested and the produced glucose will enter your blood stream slower causing less of a peak/spike (I hate the word spike). I had a chocolate truffle type sweet last month and it was delicious, don't know how it affected my bg as I didn't test afterwards, I'm usually pretty good so does it really matter in the scheme of things if you have an occasionally treat?
