Choice Diabetic

Choice Diabetic

I am diabetic, with a sweet tooth.. so to satisfy my dessert cravings after dinner?

I bought a bunch of hard candy to eat, I am doing about 3 or 4 after dinner, instead of say chocolate.
But someone said today, that hard candy is used to spike sugar levels if low, …in some cases
So I am thinking hard candy BAD choice as alternative..
correct?

Hi,

if you want to end up like me, with amputations because of uncontrolled diabetes, just keep right on eating those candies…

…seriously. Get off the candy trick! For you it should be an absolute ‘no-no’. It is possible to get sugar-free candies, ice cream and the like, but you need (really NEED) to avoid extra carbohydrates as these will raise your blood sugar level and, eventually, cause you all the problems that beset diabetics in later life.

I fooled myself into thinking I was controlling my diabetes well for more than forty years, but fell victim to an infection which wouldn’t clear and which led, eventually, to gangrene and amputations. Not nice, not necessary and relatively easy to have avoided.

I didn’t have a sweet tooth, just a large appetite for high carbohydrate foods.

In 1964, when I was diagnosed, I was advised to drink coffee without sugar and was offered saccarine instead. (I used to have several spoonfuls of sugar in coffee) I didn’t like the taste of the sweetener, so tried it without anything. UGH! But only for a couple of days…then I began to realise I could actually taste the coffee and not just the sugar! Same with tea.

After a few weeks I could identify one cup out of a dozen which had the sugar in (and still can) the coffee tasted better and the cups were easier to wash! My ‘sweet tooth’ had vanished, for ever!

I vastly prefer to eat savoury items now and though they can still be fattening and high in carbohydrates, which can raise blood sugar levels, they are far less addictive than high-sugar desserts, etc,

Please try to curb your ‘sweet tooth’ I would not recommend you follow my path. It is filled with pain, disfigurement and loss of ability.

Don’t do it. You will get all the help you need (if you actually follow their advice) from your health care professionals, who will be very pleased to have someone who actually listens and obeys rather than merely paying lip-service (guilty!) to what they say.

Good luck anyway…it can be hard, but it will be worth it, believe me.

Cheers,

BobSpain
