Can diabetics eat chocolate?

Can diabetics eat chocolate? Diabetics are often very careful in their diet. Chocolate is not only nutritious but also delicious. It uses cocoa beans as the main raw material and contains milk, fat, cheese, sugar, aroma and other substances. But chocolate contains sugar, so people with diabetes need to control their blood sugar well before they can eat it.

When diabetics eat chocolate, try to eat dark chocolate. Because, the study found that the 'insulin resistance' index during eating dark chocolate is much lower than when they eat white chocolate. Two weeks after eating dark chocolate, the volunteers' blood pressure was also lower than that after eating white chocolate.

In addition, diabetic travel, it is best to bring some candy or chocolate. Because of the large amount of activity, diabetic patients are prone to hypoglycemia. In case of panic, sweating and hunger, you can eat candy or chocolate to relieve the symptoms of hypoglycemia. At the same time, you must take chocolate with you when you take hypoglycemic drugs and insulin.
