What’s your favorite candy?

Regarding candy and sweet things, “Oh woe is me, I am undone”.

I like all lollies. caramel lollies, strawberry lollies, flavours of all kinds lollies.

I love caramel straps, licorice straps, allsorts, Daryl Lee licorice, and chocolate bullets.

I love Picnics, Mars Bars, Honeycomb Crunch, KitKat, and all other chocolate-type bars with or without nuts.

I love peppermint chocolate, caramel chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, and all chocolates in all shapes and sizes.

I love Lindop chocolates, Cadbury’s Roses chocolates and all specially packaged chocolates.

There is nothing in the confectionery line that I do not dislike. I am partial to them all. They are all my favourites.

But, alas, of the lack!

It’s now a case of “look but don’t touch“. I have been diagnosed with type two diabetes and have to swear off sweet things. The secondary reason for my resistance to eating anything sweet in the confectionery line (now 36 days after the abstinence started) is that I am too fat. I need to manage my diabetes and have medications. I also have to manage my weight and lose it little by little by little by little.

How I wish my metabolism was not so expansive when it comes to food intake.

But such is life

I have now been a diabetic for 402 days.
