Remember, on CAD you can have 2 CM and a CS per day. Space them out so that your blood sugar levels are maintained. It can take at least a full week to normalize but if you use grain or sweets when it drops the process has to start over. I would get some beef jerky, cheese, or cream cheese alone or with protein to use at those times. You can have them with CM veggies.

If you want a sweet for your RM dessert try using AS. There are a lot of great sweet treats on the board. We have another member who is allergic to sugar and wheat and she uses AS and soy desserts at her RM.

Also, if you are on any medication to control your insulin levels, work closely with your doctor to cut them down. Insulin levels are naturally controlled with this diet and many find that they have to decrease and gradually eliminate insulin controlling medications. Otherwise their blood sugar levels are too low. This is best done with your doctors supervision.

Regarding chocolate, maybe it's the sugar in the chocolate? Try using sugar free or powdered.

I hope this helps.
