Chocolates - Help!

[mum2westiesGill]

Just been given a lovely box of chocolates (NOT DIABETIC) for my birthday today 🙂
What would you do with them ie have just 2 then inject or....? I'm Type 1 on Humalog 4 x daily & Lantus at bedtime. I'm not overweight.

Happy Birthday!

Easiest to eat as pudding - no need for an extra injection.

Happy birthday Whiskey, my opinion your birthday is once a year go for it, have one or two every 2 hours 😛

I would do as copepod suggests and have them as a pudding after a healthy meal (to soften the spike).

If you google the chocs + nutritional information, you may find out the carbs in each choc and be able to work out how much each unit of insulin covers, then allow yourself 1 or 2 units worth and add this on to your premeal injection.🙂

Bear in mind that the fat in the chocolate and filling may delay any spike for several hours.

The chocs sound lovely. You can eat them as a pudding or share them with other members of the household, but the most important thing is to enjoy them
