I know Boots sells them but how about marks and spencers or holland and barratt? Is there anywhere i can purchase a box of diabetic chocs for a gift? How about Thorntons? I don't want to buy stuff from the net. x x x

You used to be able to buy them from Thourntons.
Don't know if you still can.

Thorntons diabetic chocolate is very nice. Although the rpice for these items is such a rip off. Also when i did a diabetic course when i was nursing, and also when i was diagnosed diabetic i was informed that due to the high prices its not worth buying and if you really want chocolate a little in moderation wont be too bad. The diabetic chocolates, biscuits etc... are packed with sorbitol, lactose and other stuff which all have a laxative effect, so if you ate all of it you would be in trouble. I have seen this happen several times....
