Maybe I am speaking off the top of my head but I think you should be cautious of "sugar free" and "diabetic friendly" candy?
I was at Target Saturday night and I found Russell Stover's sugar free candy. Yay, I thought. Then I looked at the back. Actually, I had a clerk look because I did not have my reading glasses. Anyway I asked him to see the number of carbohydrates. He said there were 24 grams in 3 pieces.
So, isn't that still high carb? Is it only bad if it is sugar? Then potatoes, rices, bread, etc. would be ok to eat since they have carbohydrates other than sugar. I think carbohydrates are carbohydrates. Needless to say I did not buy them.
On amazon I found some "diabetic friendly" fruit slice candies. It did not list the carbohydrates. Since I have prime I ordered one bag as it will be free shipping. I figure when I get them I will look and the back and decide whether it is ok to eat them, or give them away.
