Beware of ingredients called "sugar alcohols" which are found in many diabetic products like glucerna. They can give you diarrhea or flatulence. No candy is "good" for you. What is good for you is lots of fresh vegetables, keeping your weight down, and lots of exercise. I've learned all this, so you don't have to:

This is what my dietician told me. Sugar free candy has roughly the same amount of carbs as regular candy. It also costs more and gives you the runs. If you want candy have a little candy and don't bother with the sugar free stuff.

There is some controversy about the safety of the sweetener used in things such as sweets etc. However providing you only eat about 4 or 5 per day (24 hours) of them they should have trouble.
My wife eat a whole packet of orange wafer biscuits once (sugar free) and was up all night with diarrhea

i tried sugar free candy and i saw russell stowe's candy has printed on the back that it may rise a bit sugar levels. see the labels and back and make sure it doesn't mention this. there's sugar free chocolate that's for low carb,sugar free that does this as well.

Sugar-free jello and pudding frozen pops made with water (not milk) would be a better choice.

Like everything else, only in moderation. Be aware, sugar free food in excess will give you horrible diarrhea.

sure......BUT just because its sugar free does NOT mean it doesnt have carbohydrates...... carbohydrates are what make the blood sugar RISE...not the amount of sugar
