GZ,

The following statement is very inaccurate for the person with a properly functioning pancreas.

a steady diet of sugar laced chocolate will guarantee a very high blood sugar count in no time.....
Just to clear this up in regards to the person with a properly functioning pancreas. A diet of sugar laced chocolate will not result in an significant change in the blood sugar. I note that your response was made to CBB, who had indicated a need to check her blood glucose levels, therefore has some question about the function of her pancreas.

but I'm sure a regular diet of sugar laced chocolate might gurantee diabetes rather quickly.....
I think that in either case, the person with the properly functioning pancreas and the person with a slugglish pancreas, that the sugary chocolate will not cause the diabetes, but may aggravate the symptoms by raising the bloodsugars of the already poorly working pancreas. There is a significant difference here between the type 1 and type 2 diabetic.

<g> I would think the sugar in the chocolate would raise your blood sugar...
I would also suspect in the "diabetic" (type 1 or 2) person that chocolate would raise the blood sugars. That is a given. CBB may have not seen the significant raise in blood sugar that one might expect based on several other factors unrelated to the "sugar" she ate. Let say for instance, a person is normally non active and eats regular meals. If that same person spends the day walking around, eats a salad for lunch..(low carb)and has some chocolate. Their usual would have been to eat sandwich, fruit and glass of milk...while sitting around doing no physical activity. Then had the chocolate. If that person performed their normal routine the chocolate would have a far greater effect on raising the blood sugar. Thank the scenerio that is different than usual
