I melt dark chocolate with some coconut oil and make a thin layer in a pan to make bark or in individual mini muffin cups. I sprinkle fresh pomegranate arils on it while it's still melted. It's not sugar free but it's a nice treat and not horrendous for you imho.

I find I need to be aware of what I am eating and make sure to drink plenty of water, Also to make sure I get some exercise every day.

Personal discipline. I have to consciously deny myself that which will raise my blood sugar. Not easy. Last week I made a list of foods with low carbs and low calories. Now, I need to eat them on moderation. 🤫

Hello. When I'm on holiday, I tell anybody I meet, that I have Type2, and sometimes have refused a treat when I know it's wrong for me. Up to now, nobody has made any comments that would be wrong for me. In general, I stick to my medication, and dietary requirements. I'm 82 years old, and was diagnosed when I was 50 years old. I respect the attention required to control my condition, and to all that I can do adhere to that advice.
