I couldn't have jelly babies (or chicks) as a hypo treatment because I would eat them all. They're too nice! I will stick with glucose tablets.

I am planning on perfecting a low carb hot cross bun, which can be toasted, and buttered.
 
I think I may have a go at making my own chocolate from raw material, er, ingredients and then forming itbinto an egg shaped thing. Could be fun, and, or, very messy. Yesss!

Will it have a cross (and will it be hot)?
I have a (non-low-carb) recipe which I follow some years but have given up with the cross and sometimes let them get cold. My partner tells me they are just "Buns" if they are cold and uncrossed.
 
@helli - well ok call em fruit buns if you want to - however as far as I'm concerned they'll be teacakes, which always had to be served toasted and buttered. ie you never requested a teacake, only ever a toasted teacake which in cafes you only got one individual packet of butter to spread on, not one for each half. Philistines!
 
I bake the buns in a dish with an X cut into them to divide them into quarters - four for the gospel makers.
 
So…do you just scoff your Easter eggs at any old time of day or night? Or do you take a more measured approach? end of a meal?
At Christmas I really struggled with chocolates and having to take insulin with them, it sort of spoiled it so I pretty much ended up ignoring them, which was VERY difficult! As this is my first Easter I don’t want to miss out! But I don’t know how to approach it.
So how do all you wise and knowledgeable and experienced people do it?

Before the pump i really had to plan my chocolate eating and I wouldn’t ever just inject for chocolate. I got my pump in early March last year and wow did I enjoy Easter for the first time in 18 years, my chocolate intake definitely increased. Oops! But wow what an improvement in quality of life
