Ok ladies here is the first results of my ice cream study!!!
Ice Cream:I had 1 cup of Atkins chocolate ice cream stated to have 3g net carbs, 13 g total carbs, 5 g fiber, 1g sugar and 4g sugar alcohol.
Results: My bs before I had it was 77 and about 90-115 minutes later it was 91 so it raised my levels about 14 points. Please keep in mind that I am recovering from surgery and had minimal if any exercise after eating this.
Positives: good taste, almost like a mousse
Negatives: sometimes upsets my tummy making me gassy a bit - 12g of fat/140 calories (not a good thing for weight loss), expensive $3.50 for a pint
My next test will be the Breyers No Sugar Added in the next few days
I also find that really really cold no sugar choclate pudding usually can satisfy an chocolate craving with less calories and less effect on my BS.

Thank you Michelle for sharing your study with us. Now I know to avoid the Atkins ice cream since I want to watch my weight. hehehe I cannot wait to hear about the Bryer's no sugar added so that way I know if it is really worth the money. Oh, I am not into chocolate at all. How ever i have found that a nice cup of sugar free jello pudding in the white chocolate hits the spot pretty good or eithera nice sugar free popsickle works out good for me. LOL I love the little goodies I can enjoy that don't cause my blood sugars to sky rocket so your study will definately help me out with the information you find from eating different varities of ice cream. So keep up the great job your doing for us all.
Glad to hear that your doing better. Just keep up the great healing process you are doing, because it helps you so very much. Keep us posted on how your doing with the study, blood sugar, and after surgery recovery. We sure love having you back with us as much as you are able to handle. Take care and do have a nice day!

Yo Vicki!
Long time no hear from! How are you doing? Last I saw you said you were pregnant. Congratulations. When are you due? We all love being cyber aunties and grannies!
I can't find the Dryers made with Splenda. Go figure since it is made in Oakland, CA! The only Dryers I like at this point is the double chocolate which is wonderful. I'll have to look at their carton the next time I am in the grocery store.
I hope you can join us more frequently and that your pregnancy is going well.
Happy St. Patrick's Day,
Mary Frances
