Anything dark chocolate based or caramel is a bonus 😂

My DH is T1 diagnosed in middle age. We haven't found anything and he trained himself very quickly away from having a sweet tooth. Anything with lots of sweetener in it can have a nasty laxative side effect! If there is something he really wants, he has a small portion of it and injects the right amount of insulin.

Have a son with type 1 and he can eat anything, no restrictions. Just give the appropriate amount of insulin for it. In some ways luckier than those with type 2 who have to restrict their diet more.
