Do Tesco Or Adsa Do Sugar Free Biscuits

[Vicsetter]

I appreciate your help, thanks!
Yeah, i know about the sorbitol and i use SPLENDA, which is side effect free. I found it at waitrose and boots. I will check the ice cream, though. I cannot have sorbitol or any other sweeter than splenda, which made from sugar, and tastes way better than those regular ones😉

Is this a dietary requirement or don't you wish to disclose your diabetic status or do you care for someone with diabetes?
If you have problems with sweeteners then even if you did find sugar free biscuits you would have a problem with the sweetener used. You could probably get something at a 'health' food store - Atkins dietary products. The trouble is as others have said that being sugar free does not mean you can eat a lot of them because of the flour content (biscuits that is not ice cream). If you can stay disciplined then 1 or 2 biscuits (with sugar in them) won't do a lot of harm.
The other trouble with always aiming for sugar free products is that you end up consuming a lot of artificial sweeteners, some of which can have unwelcome effects of your digestive processes.
If you are up to doing it yourself, have you tried Agave Nectar?.

Not sure about sugar free but many shops do a free from range and you can get low and no carb alternatives if that is any help.

Can only agree with what's been said.

Just because something has no sugar does not mean that you can eat it freely.

Just because something has sugar does not mean that you can eat it freely.

'Diabetic' products are almost always worse for us in almost every way than the normal varieties. Yuk.

You need to ask yourself why you are looking for a no sugar biscuit?

If it is because you think the biscuit will push your BG up rapidly then whether or not is contains sugar is of questionable importance. As has been suggested, a 'normal' shortbread finger has pretty much the same amount of carbohydrate. Being refined flour that will push BG up fast irrespective of which sweetener is used. So if you are looking for a 'low spike' more 'BG friendly' biscuit then you need to look for one that will absorb more slowly. Fat will help - so all butter shortbread with chocolate covering gram-for-gram of total carbs is likely to have less impact on BG I would expect. Check the GI tables on http://www.glycemicindex.com/ for a few averaged examples.

Alternatively lower carb will reduce impact, so thinner/plainer biscuit-for biscuit might help (ie if you are eating by 'number of biscuit' not 'total grams of carb').

But it will never really be about the sugar.

I've found Belvita biscuits to be quite low-impact on my BG levels. Around 8.5g carbs per biscuit 🙂
