While not diabetic (so I'm told), my PN responds as if I were, so I eat accordingly—no sugar, white carbs, etc. The most I can get away with is a level tsp. of sugar/honey in my coffee; any more and my PN flares.
I'm a confirmed carbo/chocoholic, it's been ~3 years, and quite frankly... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy1SyXuWBt8 I've tried the "sugar-free" bulk candy from the grocery store, and while it tastes great, my PN still thinks the sugar alcohols (maltitol, etc.) are sugar, so... Aspartame is fine—PN doesn't care. Dark/baking chocolate doesn't do it—gives me migraines—gotta be light/milk chocolate (and sorry, but white chocolate isn't chocolate ). What do diabetic folk eat to feed the chocolate beast that dwells within? Same question for ice cream; haven't found any kind of sugar-free ice cream—does any exist? Found only 1 chocolate thread in the PN forum archive, unfortunately nothing of help. I would even settle for... ...recipes at this point. Doc
