Sweet tooth?!?

Question

What do you ladies do when you have a sweet tooth while managing your GD? What is your go to sweet snack?

Answer

I had diet controlled GB and I was able to eat small amounts of sweets strategically spaced and usually paired with protein. Every body is different-you’ll have to try out different things and see how your body reacts. I’m lucky on that I didn’t have many problems.

Answer

Sugar free Russell stovers chocolate or sugar free hershey's chocolates

Answer

Diet controlled and I have either a crunchie from a tin of heros, plain cashew nuts, 90% lindt square chocolate, diet coke - the new clementine one sorts a sweet tooth, hartleys no added sugar jelly and extra thick squirty cream. None of them make my bloods spike but I find it easier to have nothing as the urge for a second is a hard battle!! I maybe have a treat once or twice a week and it makes it much more special lol

Answer

Frosted animal crackers. They have “snack size” bags that contain about 17g of carbs.

Answer

Same here, little bit of dark chocolate or a glass of 1/2 reg and 1/2 chocolate milk.  If I have a low reading I have a few sips of juice or a cookie.

Answer

A square of dark chocolate, sometimes a bit of chocolate milk mixed with regular milk. I actually measure 1/4 cup of chocolate milk with a 1/4 cup of white milk. I find I "cheat" a bit by pairing my sweet with protein and a walk. Like for lunch today I had just protein (meatballs with sauce & cheese) and my "carb" was a dessert (it's Christmas after all), then i walked for 15-20 minutes afterwards and my sugars were fine. It's not perfect, but I'm trying to find balance without going crazy restrictive. And sometimes when I do eat the "right foods" my sugar is high. Like for breakfast I had two eggs with a whole wheat English muffin, which I basically have every day and for some reason today the same meal spiked my sugars. It seems so random sometimes.
