i recently started eating a little dark cocoa chocolate with 95 percent cocoa - Its basically a ongoing experiment as i seem to get terrible lows at work . (iam not on any meds or glucose tablets and iam diet controlled)
I would like to know if anyone here has a recipe to make pure cocoa chocolate ? or even where to buy the cocoa powder . After taking a little of it throughout the day, for the last 3 days i have noticed i do not feel bloody awful .
My BG seems not too bad - pretty stable (5.5 - 6.5 mol average throughout the day ) iam still testing like mad as ive just been diagnosed. God knows why, but i dont feel terrible lows even though my BG has dropped ) . i take 2 or 3 pieces and divide them into smaller 6 or 9 pieces and eat these tiny pieces at select intervals in the day . i feel much better . ( my BG does not spike - it goes up a little - the highest reading i got was when i ate 2 bigger pieces of cocoa chocolate all at once - i got a reading of 6.8 mol . Which is still not too bad in my opinion. but i know iam not supposed to eat this everyday , so what should i do?
Ive never been a chocolate head, always a savoury eater iam surprised by the results, i also feel alot less tense .
Would there be anyone here that regulary buys the pure cocoa and makes cocoa chocolate themselves ? i would be very grateful. Thanks
