My dr has told me that I can have a piece of chocolate or something as long as I am strict with my diet throughout the day. Having a bite or two of chocolate isn't going to make a huge difference. If you have a bite or two of chocolate or high sugar or carbs every hour or two then you will have an issue. I love sweet tea and hate the diabetic sweeteners. So I compromise. I drink lots of water and one day a week for supper I get a glass of sweet tea, provided that meal is full of protein and good veggies and very little carbs. Rarely have I had any issues with my sugars being high when doing two hour followup check. Moderation is the key.
