Sugarfree Jelly beans

[lelggren]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this thread, but I think that it is the closest to on topic :)

Many of you know that lately I've been craving jelly beans like you wouldn't believe. I can't seem to get enough of them! But, it has been killing my bg's. :help:

Well, my sweet husband just came into my work because he found the most wonderful thing in the world! Sugar free jellybeans!!!!!!!! I'm completely in all my glory right now!!!! And, it is not too bad as far as carbs are compared to the real jellybeans. These are 36 grams carb for 34 jellybeans. Whereas in the real stuffs, it is that same amount of carbs for about half of the beans! And, the greatest part is that they are those brach's brand ones. Those are the most yummy of all!!!!

Thank you for listening! Have a splendid day! :flowers:

Be careful. If they are sweetened with sugar alcohols, they may cause :toilet: some problems (upset stomach if you have too many).

I am happy he found you your treat! That is love! He was walking around in the world thinking of you and found exactly what you needed and brought it to you at work. :date: What a sweetheart!!

I promise not to go overboard ;) I have just been craving jelly beans lately like something fierce! And, I am making sure to pace myself so that I don't spend all day in the bathroom regretting my jellybean feast....lol

I just couldn't believe that he found them! I had wondered if such a thing existed :) My hubby is such a good sweetums :)

I had that happen to me when "I" discovered sugarfree jelly beans, years ago at the mall! Needless to say it was not a pretty picture, and I have hated jelly beans ever since!

1st, this is a proper and important topic for the Diabetes discussion board, the reason we are all here

During a tour of the camp, Gen. Steele notices the latrine is a "Two-Holer"

"A Two-Holer, eh? Excellent, it allows the men to encourage each other."

Personally I don't like the texture of SF jelly beans. My mom bought the Jelly Belly brand for me and she ended up eating them...

They were pretty disgusting just to chew. Not to mention the laxative effect.

how many carbs of sugar alcohols is to much i wonder??? i had a chocolate bunny for easter of course it was SF. and i ate like the whole bunny, bolused for the carbs and was feeling fine after....really makes you wonder.

some things i like are SF and some i dont like. i love the NSA chocolate, and NSA M&M type of things....they are a good candy for the sweet tooth (and yes being diabetic makes this sweet tooth worse lol)

I didn't understand what this meant until today.

Now, I understand all too well. :help:

You better be carfull with the sugar free stuff. Alot of the time I have noticed that is has almost as many carbs as regular..

But, that is the beauty here :) The carbs are a lot less for this one! You can have about double the beans for the same amount of carbs. So, just eat half the beans, and you are low-carbing it! :) Yay :)

Well I have sooo learnt my lesson and will only buy the hard sf lollies (cause the chewy ones are too nice and I eat the whole pack!:embarasse ). I just discovered Weight Watchers jelly and ate it two minutes ago - really sweet tasting and zip calories and carbs. I am going to make sure I have a few made up in the fridge. How long can you keep jelly for?

I found the brach sugar free jelly beans too. It is nice to have some candy once in a while. I got some sugar free chocolate covered peanuts at candyopolis. I like candy.

I can't wait to try them. Are your blood sugars more stable with the carbs from the sf beans as opposed to the regular ones?
I crave jelly beans, and not even the designer beans but the WalMart $1.22 beans. It doesn't matter which ones I have.
At first it started as a cheaper way to handly lows. BUT... :whistling
Needless to say, I'm hooked!

Thank you for addressing that topic here.

They are so yummy :) You will love them! They have a slightly sweeter taste than the regular ones, but I think that they are just as good, if not better :) I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with this craving for loverly jelly beans! I said that I would also only buy the real ones as a treatment for lows.....then......a whole bag later.......lol

My bg's stay pretty good with the sugar free ones. I usually don't eat more than 10-15 of them at a time though just because I really don't want the gastric consequences.....lol

I say though, give them a try, and I think you will like them!
