I have a love/hate relationship with take-out Chinese food. Love to (over)eat it, hate the 14+ hours of blood sugar h.e.l.l. I go through afterwards.

I think I'd have to agree with you on the chocolate thing. Vending machines are not our friends!

On a regular basis ? I have none. I find a sugar free or low sugar substitute. On occasion, I'd go with the Chinese food or cheese cake !

Funny! Two of my faves are chocolate and cake (no icing) donuts. With a little trial and error, I've worked choc chips into my breakfast routine (you only need about 1 tsp to get the flava without too many calories or carbs)--on my yogurt or whole wheat waffle. And, I pretty much treat myself to a cake donut once a month. For me, 3.5 units of rapid-acting with a dual wave bolus over 45 minutes works wonders on the sugar and fat that are shoehorned into one little donut! The only fave food I can't really work in--at least in the quantities I'd love to chug--is whipped cream. Love that stuff. But absolutely don't need those saturate fat calories. Now I'm craving chocolate and donuts ....

I would have to say pasta and chocolate cake.I buy regular pasta instead of low carb because a lot of times I don't have the money for the better stuff.I pay for it in the end if I don't watch how much of it I eat.Chinese is also one of my favorites.I'm not too much for the junk a lot.

I love Lay's pot chips. We don't even buy them anymore. If I make a cake or anything we have a rule that it can stay in the house for a day then I send it to the office with hubby. I also like chocolate and every once in a while (every month or so) I'll have a Hershey chocolate bar. I bolus and the BGs seem to do pretty well.

Have you all noticed it is not as much about having willpower as it is about having a plan?

I have found pillsbury mini brownies. You can make 6 at a time which works out great as there are 3 of us at home so it means a serving for each of us (150 cal, 25 carbs). I get my chocolate, junk food fix but there are not any left around to tempt me to eat more.

When the moon turns blue, my favorite foods that I shouldn't have but do anyway are: Unlimited servings of Rocky Road Icecream and warm brownies with walnuts & chocolate chunks topped with whipped cream. Thanks! for asking.

First of all I want to say that there is no such thing as "forbidden foods" however there are foods that diabetics should eat in moderation. Mine is five cent candies... especially the ones with the sour sugar on them... or chips... I at times eat too many potato chips.
