Hi friends,
I don't know about you but when it comes to a treat like a diabetic friendly candy like snack it's buyer beware.
From funky sweeteners to highly processed ingredients tread lightly.
When you see a "diabetic" friendly SUGAR FREE anything, look at the label.
Many sugar free food contain some of the most bazar ingredients found on the planet.
The fact is many sugar free candy like foods are higher in carbs then a non sugar free snack.
What do you think, are you eating snacks like this??

Make no mistake when it comes to eating I like to say "it's all about the balance"
