🍫 Chocolate & Treats

At Golden Heritage Sweet Care, we believe that managing diabetes shouldn’t mean missing out on life’s little treats. However, "Sugar-Free" doesn't always mean "limitless." Here is our expert guide to making the best choices for your blood glucose levels.

1. The "Total Carb" Rule

While we focus on sugar-free products, your body converts all carbohydrates into glucose.

• Check the Label: Look at "Total Carbohydrates," not just "of which sugars."

• The Goal: Choose snacks that are high in fiber or protein to slow down the absorption of any natural carbs present.

2. Understanding Sweeteners

Not all sweeteners are created equal. We prioritize products that use ingredients with a low Glycemic Index (GI).

• The Best (Near-Zero Spike): Stevia, Erythritol, and Isomalt.

• The "Watch-Outs" (Potential Spike): Maltitol and Sorbitol. These are common in sugar-free sweets; they are safer than sugar but can still raise blood glucose in some people if eaten in large quantities.

3. Alcohol-Free Spirits & Wines

When browsing our drinks section, remember:

• Mixers Matter: Always pair your 0.0% spirits with "Slimline" or "Max" mixers. Standard tonic water or cola is often packed with hidden sugars.

• Serving Size: Alcohol-free wines can contain natural grape sugars. We recommend a standard 125ml or 175ml pour to stay within a safe daily carb count.

4. Portion Control & The "Laxative Effect"

Many high-quality sugar-free sweeteners (Polyols) can have a mild laxative effect if consumed in excess.

• Our Advice: Start with a small portion (e.g., 3-4 sweets) to see how your body reacts.

5. Always Consult Your Professional

Our advice is based on nutritional standards, but every body is unique. Always monitor your blood glucose levels when trying a new product for the first time and consult your GP or Diabetic Nurse for personalized medical advice.

• The product category
