I must admit that last night I bought regular ice cream for first time in forever...they did not have the flavor I wanted in Edys no sugar added...so I caved in because they were not on sale either....but I am sure that others can answer your question better than I for I have no idea.....

I don't eat cake or ice cream. What is normal for me may be different for you. This.... only your Doctor can tell you.

Does Edys no sugar ice cream taste close to regular ice cream?
I would like to find no sugar sweets that taste good.

I don't like "no sugar" foods. The artificial sugar tastes horrible IMO and leaves a bad after taste in my mouth.......so I do "real" sugar only. However, I limit my intake becuz IMO only.....the artificial stuff (anything) isn't good for your body.
My mom is also diabetic, but eats everything, but uses portion control However, ice cream spikes her sugar to nearly 200. She is elderly, but has many health issues and feels like crap most of the time. I don't say anything cuz it's her life and telling her just gets her upset which makes her sugars even higher.
You have to do what is good for you or works for you.
I stay away from the foods that make me feel crappy.....I'd rather feel good and have energy to enjoy my life and those I love....but that is just me. I have found substitutes for treats or I count that carb into my meal or snack. I splurge once in awhile, but only 1/4 cup of a treat.
Just do the trial and error thing. Don't over do it.....a 1/4 cup of any treat should be ok occasionally. Eat it slowly and enjoy it and you should be ok....HOWEVER only your doctor and you together can decide that. Good luck :)

I do like the no sugar added ice creams...they have sugar in them but they do not over sugar it like the other stuff....I do not find any bad taste to them....try it and see if you like it...there is also blue bunny and bryers that make no sugar added ice creams....I buy no sugar added pies at the grocery store too that are store made...

I hate those so called no sugar anything. The carbs are way higher. I eat a small piece dark chocolate, one small scoop of regular ice cream but count the carbs as part of my daily diet. As for the spike after dinner, it all depends on what you ate. I eat half the portion of pasta, more veggies and proteins. All portion control. I even had a glass of red wine. And that is a treat for me. It did not spike those pesky numbers. Talk to your doctor about it. It is a progressive illness and it is something that we can actually control. hugs

the Edys icecream sugar free (not carb free of course) is good, but I tend to just stay with regular stuff and not look for the sugar free.

I eat sweets once in a while but I don't do the full portion size, just enough to get a taste, and of course depends on what my numbers are 2 hours after eating. I also take into my carb counts also

How big a spike are you talking, testing 2 hr after, and what did you have to eat....so many factors count for this

I use to cheat all the time. My BG started to be hard to control so I don't any more. Actually don't miss it either and I've lost some weight.
