sugar free, support the cause!
Posted on Jun 02, 2007 under Food, diabetes food |I went out the other day and was looking through the aisles at the grocery store and realized there are a ton of sugar free things out there! I’m sure much of that has to do with the low carb craze then diabetics, but it’s still a good thing, and some of it really doesn’t taste that bad.
Then I went into a restaurant and my two friends who have no clue about diabetes kept telling me that I couldn’t eat this or that, I laughed at them, they thought I couldn’t eat any carbs! So while I’m telling them otherwise the waitress came up and she had heard part of the conversation and helped me convince them that it was okay for me to eat carbs, she happened to be diabetic too, type 1 though. She said the only thing that stinks is that when she goes out to eat or she’s at work, she can’t have desert, there deserts have way too much sugar and there huge.
After she took our order we came up with this great idea that restaurants should have, at least one desert item that is sugar free, or at least something with just fruit or low sugar. Even sugar free ice cream would work. Then we thought maybe someplace is already doing this. So if you know of one let me know. If not support the cause! protest sugar!
I guess what I am wondering is does anyone else buy sugar free items or do you just eat very little sugar?
