| Hi Mark, welcome to the forums! Are you currently on any medication for your diabetes, or controlling it with diet/exercise only?
As for chocolate, I enjoy small amounts of dark chocolate. I keep them in the freezer and they last longer...I just have a couple when the chocolate urge hits.
Also, sugar-free chocolate jello pudding is a great chocolate fix...there's also Breyer's Carb Smart low-carb chocolate ice cream and sugar free fudgesicles.
It's hard at times not to be able to have the cookies, cakes and pies we could have before diagnosis...esp. around the holidays when they seem to show up everywhere!
Sorry to hear you're "down in the dumps." The holidays can be a difficult time for many.
I'd encourage you to get regular exercise and find something you enjoy doing that will keep your mind off chocolate or whatever it is that tempts you. Plan your treats, chose a day a week that you will have a small piece of chocolate, and don't have any until that day, then make sure you've eaten well throughout that day.
Don't think of it as "I can't have" something, instead think " I choose not to." It does make it easier.
