Wendy, I certainly hear you. I felt the same way when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. But then I decided that I can have anything I want - just one bite. From what I have learned, it is not the sugar that is so harmful to us, because our bodies don't know the difference among fructose, lactose, glucose or sucrose. It is the spiking of sugar levels that harms us. So I try very hard to keep my levels as even as possible. Easier said than done, believe me. I read the labels on everything & found things that are tasty, that are within my carb limits. At parties or holidays, I try little samples of tempting things, then go for a walk. Eating protein after being tempted helps, too. (like a bite of peanut butter) I love chocolate & allow myself one piece a day.

Also remember that infections & stress raise our sugar levels, too. When someone finds a way to cut out stress, please let me know. *wink*
