for me sugar isn't forbidden, moderation is the key. i still like to have some chocolate- thats my major weakness.

you're right sugary things will raise your blood sugar more quickly.

Are you on a basal bolus regime? can you adjust your insulin to the carbs you are eating? from your post doesn't sound like you are as you have to eat a specific amount at meals.

if you could match your insulin to what you eat then you would have more flexibility and be able to incorporate some sweet treats into your diet.
