Crikey Stephen I would be sick!
 

And to my eternal shame, there are none left out of the three packets I bought

Snigger.... They didnt blip me either YAY!!!! :lol:
 
Ooo, you've got 'me' going now. I'm definately going to get some of the Werthers Originals, if I can find some. I get the Aldi sweets, but would like a change.

Pffft. It's all very well you lot going on about sugar free sweeties..what I want to know is when is some clever person going to invent low-carb salt and vinegar crisps?

Actually I would settle for cheese and onion if necessary..or smokey bacon..

S'not fair.
 



Now we are talking! :thumbup:
 
Went to USA last year and was gobsmacked at the amount of diabetic friendly sweets etc they have on supermarket shelves. ( Sorry no crisps), but loads of choice otherwise. Why are the choices here so limited. Also found some great bikkies in India! Seems that everyone has a better choice than us. Mega sulk!!! :evil: :evil:
 
On the subject of sweets, I got this for my dad. A gift box full of sugar free. Now this made his day

Might I suggest if you have the age old problem of when you open a packet you got to finish it. When you get a packet of sweets split them into smaller bags. 5 sweets to a bag. Or throw 5 lose sweets into your man bag/hand bag. That way when they are gone they are gone. And also it's a case if you miss one it's a lovely surprise when you come across it at a later date. I always buy dark chocolate and have a nibble now and again. Less is sometimes more.
 
I like my wine gums. I was in the habit of having two half-pound packs once a month. Now I know I mustn't eat them if I want to lose weight, and also they will upset my blood sugar levels. I think I could make my own with sugar free recipes, but I'd have to have three or four different flavours.

Does anyone have a recipe I could try? I'd probably make a tray of the mixture, then chop it into sweetie sized pieces.

TIA..

Just bought some Werthers Originals Sugar Free sweeties..............................they're great
 
Looked at the website and the sweets are not visually appealing, What is the texture like?

They actually lasted me 4 days and that must be some sort of record. I still have a mars bar in my jacket pocket from last week. Carried of course for hypo purposes.

I've a packet of refreshers in my bag since September in case I ever get a low. Bought them as I'm not really fussed on them and won't be tempted to have them.

What a good idea. Carry something that you find normally disgusting that is high in sugar / glucose content then you won't be tempted to eat it. I'm up for that.

I got the last three packs in Tesco on Monday they are lovely and taste like butterscotch mmmm I have only had one reading over 7 since Monday and that was an irresistible piece of toast which spiked me to 8.9 I also tried the Dominion from Aldi but they were not to my taste thanks to whoever it was came up with Werthers, lots in the pack too!
