[Diabetes-Talk] Blood sugar question

[joystigile at gmail.com]

Hi Mary,
Just remember chocolate has a lot of fat in it which slows down the absorption of the sugar so, your blood sugar may not go up for a couple of hours.
You might want to check your level at the two hour mark.
There are other factors also to consider, was your sugar level going down at the point when you ate the candy or was it stable.
Warmly, Joy

Oh my gosh I am relieved! Thank you for the smile and also knowing it’s ok for us to have treats at times! I did have a little bit of chocolate covered fruit at a function last night but I tried to be mindful of only having a little.
Smiles!
