Has anyone tried this ?

I have to admit I love ice cream and probably overdo it all too often.

If this was as good I could still continue to eat it but without a severe side effect.

Diabetic Ice Cream Raises Blood Glucose Levels, Says Diabetes Charity
A charity has blasted an ice cream company after discovering its diabetic products could have a more detrimental effect on the health of people with diabetes than normal ice cream.

X-PERT Health, a charity which offers education course to people with diabetes through the NHS, researched the nutritional values of Frank's Diabetic Strawberry Ice Cream after receiving a letter from a concerned participant who had recently attended its diabetes self-management programme.

Hi David.

I have been buying Franks Diabetic Ice Cream for about 2 years now. I have two scoops after a meal, and up to now I have had no problems at all with it.

Hi John!

Nice to see you posting 🙂 Not sure if you've been on the forum much recently, but I seem to have missed you. Hope you are OK.

Hi John, lovely to see you 🙂
I looked at this ice cream product and it has more carbs than plain vanilla ice cream 😱

Some people find it doesn't affect their blood sugars and others say it does..... So you pays your money and takes your chance 🙂
 
I've never had a problem with it with regards to BG levels after a bowl.

However, I do find the quality of the ice cream can vary a lot.
 
A standard bowl of Tesco soft-scoop vanilla is 21g of carbs per 100g.

This is 17g per 100g.

Minimal difference, I'd just stick with the regular stuff and think about portion control.
 
weve got some - tastes ok but to be honest its me that eats it not H - to use it up ! he goes for normal stuff every so often and justs adds it on for it
