Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / August 2007I have rediscovered Dark Chocolate
As a result of the things I learned in this news froup, I purchased last night one of those high percentage gourmet dark chocolate bars. Lindt has one with 85% cocoa. $1.99 for 3.5 oz. 8 carbs per four (big) squares, 20 for the whole bar. Ate some this morning, and within minutes experienced a euphoric high. Oddly the first taste wasn't that great, and I really love dark chocolate. Soon, I was craving it like crazy, but I've stopped at four squares. Nice to know I've at least learned to stop. Normally I'd have eaten the whole thing without even thinking about it, not that 20 carbs would be horrible for me but... I could live off this stuff. Bill "Chocoholic Extraordinaire" Hileman I always buy dark chocolate. Since candy isnt my thing, I can have two squares a day without any problems with my blood sugar. And we now know that dark chocolate is very healthy for you we dont have to be deprived just because we are diabetics. we just have to know how much we can eat of something.

I love that stuff. I like to just hold a square in my mouth while I'm drinking coffee and let it dissolve... Mmmm.... I could BITE you ... It's too late now for me to check my BG (midnite), there are 3 tablets of dark chocolate downstairs, I know where they are ... I am just too lazy to check BG now and at hourly interevals "Frisbee®" <billLASTNAME@yahoo.com> a écrit ... > As a result of the things I learned in this news froup, I purchased last > night one of those high percentage gourmet dark chocolate bars.

Always having suffered from headaches, I marvelled how I could eat dark chocolate without it causing headaches. Over the years more and more foods have contributed to my headaches, and as of last year, most unfortunately, dark chocolate became part of them. I can now tolerate one square a week, hardly enough to satisfy my craving.
