I find that chocolate is the only candy that does not affect my
issues.
I have been fructose free for 9 months now. And I don't eat potatoes as a rule. I reintroduce a potato every month as a test and so far I react to them every time!

I use brown rice pasta (Tinkyada) and this is far better than
wheat pasta for sugar response.
I am now experimenting with buckwheat, as buckwheat has d-chiro inositol in it and that benefits glucose control.

I tend to use vegetables mostly for dinner. I have 2 slices of Oatnut bread /day max (some days none).

I eat nuts mostly for snacks. The new Cocoa coated almonds are really good, no sugar and tasty:

These are just excellent for magnesium source, low carb, and satisfies chocolate cravings without the sugar.
