I wanna buy Diabetic Choccys 4 a Pressie>

Ellie

Does anyone know where i can buy a nice box of diabetic choccys for a pressie plz?
I have come accross single bars for diabetics but im looking for something extra nice. So many choccies about at Xmas i dont see why Diabetic grandads (or anyone else) should have to miss out.

Any replies or PM's greatfully received - thank youuuu!! )

Hotel chocolat don't do a diabetic range but they do make low sugar chocs which I have bought for a diabetic friend (who loved me for it!)

if you look under 'Person' you'll see their little rant about diabetic chocs. The diabetics I know say that choc labelled suitable for diabetics is often really gross.

My mum is a diabetic and HATES diabetic chocs. She would much rather have 1 normal choc and enjoy it than 10 diabetic chocs and not enjoy. Are you sure the person you are buying for likes diabetic chocs?

Ummm... well no im not sure as he has only recently been told he's diabetic. He is elderly though and i know xmas will b really hard for him with all those yummy tempting sweets around that he cant eat. I thought it would be nice if he has his own.... but u've made me wonder now lol

Hello Ellie

I buy my father-in-law diabetic chocolates from Thorntons and he enjoys them. Why don't you buy a small box and then ask for some feedback? If he enjoys them, you can buy a bigger box next time. If he doesn't enjoy them, you won't have wasted a lot of money.;)

Thanks Nile

I think thats probably the best idea! I hadnt realised thorntons did diabetic chocolates until i posted on here either. If their diabetic ones are even just half as nice as the others then im sure he will enjoy them lots!

The Boots diabetic choccies are 3 for 2

My mum is diabetic and in her 70's, and she likes both the chocolate and the toffees from Boots or Thorntons. If I were you, OP, I would get a selection of different things (small choc bars, packets of toffees etc rather than one box of chocs), maybe some diabetic shortbreads or something too, present them in a little basket or something so it looks nice.

That way, if some are nicer than others he will soon say which were his favourites, you can make a note for next time.
