I love this blog posting! My fiance and I went to a greek restaurant on Valentine’s Day and the same thing happened when the check came out – there was a HUGE MOUND of cotton candy! I literally attacked it. I was so excited! Matt, my fiance didnt know if he should wrestle the cotton candy out of my hands or grab my pump and bolus for me. (There was also Nutella as part of the dessert…maybe we were at the same restaurant…France and Greece are near each other, right???)

Oh how guilty I feel that I was not a Diabetic child. I got all the fun good eats. Strangely enough I wonder sometimes if the reason I like them more now than when I was a kid is because they weren’t “off limits” back then.
Thank you for posting with us Kerri.
PS I make an awesome Nutella cake filling, after cookies and cream, it’s my favorite one.

Okay – I am the elder of all you little young PWD’s and I am ashamed to admit this <> that I have been eating Nutella for years!! Having living in Europe, that’s what we eat (peanut butter yuck – tho’ I do love it just as much as Nutella). If any of you ever come to stay here at my little home in Montreal, you will have Nutella, or anything else you desire, because I am the Devil Diabetic of all things evil in nonD foods (tho’ I don’t keep it in the house all the time, mainly when visitors come – excuse, excuse, excuse).

Okay, off to see if I can fit thru’ the bathroom door, think I’ve put on weight since reading about candy floss (I love it when it’s freshly spun, but can rot your teeth out, and not just make your BG’s go up if you don’t take the correct amount of insulin).

Waddle, waddle ….

Nutella plus fluff between graham crackers equals, “Can I have s’more?” We’ve only recently discovered it too. It’s heavenly. Caleb even had a Nutella and soybean butter on potato bread sandwich for lunch today. Totally bolus worthy!

You’re not alone Kerri, as I have never had Nutella either! One of my good friends from college LOVES the stuff so I’ve known about it for quite some time plus I’ve been seeing it advertised in commercials and available for purchase in grocery stores more recently. I just may have to give in and try some. Or will I then have a new addiction???

Kerri, what a great blog! Yes, my child-hood treats consisted of PB and H’s… peanut butter and honey (mini) sandwiches, when I was low. Then when I went to college nothing was “off limits” and I took it all for granted. Now that I am “back on track”, Nutella is is one my favorite treats, as is plain yogurt with a little spot of jam (pick your favorite flavor) in the middle. [I was just remembering how I used to pretend I was low in grammar school to sneak some of my Halloween candy!] And if you are feeling REALLY low (or indulgent), ice cream with P.B. and Nutella on the top is decadent.

Fantastic blog!

You’re not alone; many of us have never had Nutella before!

My "Nirvana" was spending my ninth summer at a Yeshiva day camp where not only was there always bread at lunch, and not only were we allowed to eat it, tradition required we eat it after the ritual of washing our hands for the meal. As for Nutella... I tend to avoid it because of the HFCS and trans fats. I did find a store-brand version that wasn't quite as ingredient-bad, and agree that it's tasty, but not (IMO) bolusworthy.
