Fully Loaded Cocoa

Diabetes doesn't e'er bring to hateful "diet." Actually, I stand upwards corrected - Diabetes should never bring to hateful "diet," as well as I abhor that John Q. Public thinks it does.
Life.... And life alongside diabetes is all most choices - both large as well as small.... And yummy
######

Type 1 Diabetes or not, I bring a sugariness tooth, as well as most probable I inherited from my mother.
I similar vanilla icecream or a vanilla cupcake on occasion - OK, I honey vanilla creamcheese as well as cocnut cupcakes similar nobody's work concern - Same goes for carrot cake cupcakes.
Nutella as well as I bring a particular friendship - And every in ane lawsuit inward a spell I become for the Reese's (again, I am my mother's daughter,) as well as the occasional KitKat.
And I meticulously exam my blood sugar, earlier as well as afterward such delicious treats as well as bolus accordingly.
I don't make a habit of indulging daily - non because of my busted pancreas - but because of my waistline - And the fact that I don't desire it to expand.
I know a larger waist draw is non practiced for the optic - And that fact is e'er at the dorsum of my head.

Plus, when I enjoin myself I can't swallow something - That's all I desire to eat.
So theoretically beingness able to swallow everything I desire to way I don't become batshit crazy when I do become for the sugariness stuff, but I digress.
In the wintertime months my sugariness cravings are worse.
Maybe it's because it's freezing out as well as it makes me desire to nestle inward doors until the Sun shines in ane lawsuit to a greater extent than as well as the air current as well as snowfall stop.

But whatever the argue as well as regardless of the flavor - I similar me some sweets every instantly as well as then.
So my latest indulgence is SwissMiss Milk Chocolate Hot Cocoa- And non the artificially sweetened version either. I'm talking most the fully loaded, sixteen grams of chocolaty goodness as well as sans HFCS version.

The manner I come across it, sixteen grams of carbs inward the course of education of a warm chocolaty mug of honey alongside a pair of tablespoons of vanilla almond milk thrown inward for practiced stair out is non solely slow to bolus for - It's easier on my waistline thence a to a greater extent than highly carbed treat.
And at this betoken I'm certain some of you're wondering: But Kel, why non simply become for the diet version?
Here's the thing: I've had type 1 diabetes for 35 years, and I grew upwards on Sweet due north Low as well as thence aspartame - And thank you lot to those badboys,  there's a practiced adventure I bring to a greater extent than artificial fillers running through my veins thence most of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
I don't do the artificial sweeteners much anymore - And haven't since my mid twenties - And my Endo is to a greater extent than than fine alongside that - He genuinely agrees alongside me.

I know the SwissMiss Cocoa is far from perfect, as well as my side past times side stride is to actually make my ain cocoa mix to bring on hand, a'la Alton Brown: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/hot-cocoa-recipe/index.html ,
as well as I'll larn to a greater extent than or less to doing that.... eventually.

Do you lot become for the fully loaded version of some things instead its artificially sweetened counterpart? And if so, why?
