Say it isn't so!...

Obviously, due to Gestational Diabetes, I have attempted to cut out all processed sugars from my diet, and have been careful about 'natural' sugars too. However, on two occaisions I have had a couple of squares of Green and Blacks Organic Dark chocolate. It's got 70% cocoa-solids, and MUCH less sugar than milk chocolate, and my sugar readings have been OK afterwards.

I haven't had any for ages though.

Last night I was seriously turkeying for some chocolate, so 'im indoors (being the love that he is) went to our corner shop to get me some 'plain' choccy. We knew they wouldn't have the G+B variety, but I quite like Cadbury's Bournville so wasn't too bothered.

Imagine my glee when he returned with a little bar of choccy just for me, and made me a nice cup of decaff tea so that I could 'dunk' a little bit.

Now - imagine my scrunched up, horrified face when I realised just how sickly sweet, gritty and horrible chocolate is when you haven't had any sugar for months! I usually love the bitter taste of plain/dark chocolate, but this.... Nasty, evil blech stuff. I couldn't eat it!

The world's gone mad.
