Our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was in kindergarten. We were completely thrown for a loop with that diagnosis. As with so many things, we just didn't know that much about it until we had to. I feared that I had caused it by feeding him too much sugar. {Not true!} I feared that we were going to have to give up sugar as a family completely. {Also not true} As a baker {by hobby}, that made me really sad. We weren't sure how we were going to fit his new condition into our family life -- how we would find a new "normal" or what "normal" even was with a diabetic child.
Now, 7 years later, we are still trying to figure that all out, but were in a better place. Riley enjoys sweets in moderation as long as he is doing a good job regulating his blood sugars. I still get to bake {hallelujah} and diabetes is nothing more than a tiny blip on our radar. While we don't avoid sugar completely, we get super excited whenever we find sugar-free, lower carb options that taste as good as regular. We found just such a treat this week and I HAD to share it with you guys.
Werther's Original Sugar Free Candy is so good, y'all. I had every intention of saving it all for Riley, but I have been stealing pieces all week. I love Werther's Original hard candies and these taste just the same -- only better because they're pretty much guilt-free. And they come in 4 flavors - Classic Caramel, Caramel Apple, Caramel Coffee, and Caramel Cinnamon. Aren't they pretty?
Oooooooooohhhhhhh, the cinnamon. Those are my favorite. I know there are lots of reasons aside from diabetes that cause people to try and stay away from sugar. Whatever your reason is, I urge you to give these Werther's Original Sugar-Free Candies a try. I was really pleasantly surprised at how delicious they are. My only complaint is that I have been finding little gold wrappers all over my house since we got them, but that is hardly Werther's fault, is it? Apparently I am not the only one who can't stop sneaking pieces.
Visit Werther's Original Sugar-Free on Facebook for product information and promotions. I have some coupons that I would love to share with anyone who wants to try these delicious sugar-free treats. The first 5 people who comment that they want them will get 2 coupons for 75 cents off. {Make sure to leave an email address so I can get your mailing info!} Ready . . . . Go!
