Be very very careful with sugar free stuff. It often swaps out “sugar” for other equally damaging carbs in terms of diabetes. Also damaging oils and other chemical cocktails that I quite frankly have no idea what they are or the effect they have. I’d rather eat foods I can recognise as food.Hi all
What products do you treat yourself with either sugarfree or no added sugar?
I personally by products from:

But what kind of British diabetic products are there out there?

"Our candy is sugar free! Suitable for diabetics!"... Yeah, no processed sugar in there, but the Dutch candy in question is a hardened piece of honey. So sugar free and no added sugar say very, very little about the suitability of a product.Hi all

Essentially, yes, but it's kind of a moot point for us anyway- it might not be an actual lie to say a bag of flour contains 'no sugar', but the starch in it is the problem. HSSS above has the best idea- look at the carbsMany of the products that claim not to contain sugar are a lie, right?
My hubby bought me some sugar free chocolates for Easter. They are foul tasting, like cheap cake covering, and only 1 g carb each lower than the full sugar ones he brought for himself.
I'd prefer to eat half a proper one, same with most other foods, one bite of a hot cross bun rather than the whole thing or a fake one for example. I personally dont like the taste, effects or ethicalness of any artificial sweeteners
"Our candy is sugar free! Suitable for diabetics!"... Yeah, no processed sugar in there, but the Dutch candy in question is a hardened piece of honey. So sugar free and no added sugar say very, very little about the suitability of a product.Just go for stuff that doesn't have a load of carbs in as-is, like extra dark chocolate, certain nuts, olives, good cheeses...
Erythritol (if you are ok with the taste) is one of the sweeteners least likely to affect bgl along with stevia. But yes some are awful and it does vary person to person a bit. Maltitol for example is terrible for many.The sweetener used in many of the the "no sugar added" products also have an impac
The products are sweetened with erythritol. However I usually don't eat much of their products. Some of the cookies and chocolate on festive occasions.
I'm asking because Diablo has launched their products at some supermarket. From what I can read, Diablo products has an impact on bloodsugar levels?

Hi. Did you mean 'Carb' rather than 'Calorie' as the latter is irrelevant for us?I have rediscovered simple, quick baking - keto cakes, biscuits, scones.... I use a stevia/erythritol blend instead of sugar. This way, I know what is in them. Not low calorie, by any means, but they don’t upset my BG, and congenital laziness means that they remain occasional treats because I can’t be bothered to bake a constant supply!
Nope, I mean low cal. Calories, as a measure of energy intake, are not irrelevant for me as I am actively losing weight on keto and I still believe that shoving in more than I expend will not help me achieve my goals. So yes, they are full of low carb energy, if you prefer.Hi. Did you mean 'Carb' rather than 'Calorie' as the latter is irrelevant for us?
So many people do believe exactly that - they can get into quite a quandary when trying to adjust their diet according to their rules and in some cases find that their weight plummets faster when eating more than when on their diet. Some panic and think that they are ill.Nope, I mean low cal.
