Yes the diabetic nurse gets a bit annoyed with my use of them too but as my blood sugar levels are perfect she has no way to stop me using them. The sula sweets I use don't seem to have that effect although I limit myself to 4 a day, just cannot seem to work well without my sweeties in the evening, air is so dry I either need a suckable sweet or a drink and the sweet works best I find.

Re: confection

Diabetics should eat their sweets along with or soon after a meal. The other foods in the meal slow the sugar absorption, helping to prevent a rapid spike in blood sugar.
So there is no need to go without a treat altogether.

Yes I realise this but being on a calorie counting diet the sugar free options allow me to indulge with out the guilt

Re: confection

My wife loves jelly babies but I always try to buy her ones with more boy babies than girls. You get that little bit extra with the boy babies.
