Chewing Gum?

[Twinkle]

Hi all,

Can someone clever tell me about chewing gum and tic tacs? I like the odd bit of sugar free gum (and the odd tic tac) - carbs are high per 100g but obviously small based on the size of the sweet! Also, as I'm not swallowing the chewing gum, is there any effect?

Sorry, daft question!

Thanks, Jane

Not daft at all! I often have tic tacs because they are negligible carbs each and a couple have no impact on my levels. Sugar-free gum shouldn't have much effect either, as they are usually very slow-release carbs and not many per piece. 🙂

Chew sugar free gum often, helps me relax and its a good way of keeping the teeth clean and the mouth fresh between brushing.
