So a good question for people with diabetes is candy? I have always thought that candy is OK, but in moderation. The issue being getting your carbohydrates without much in way of vitamins. This article proposes a couple things. Try to eat candy for dessert, so it is part of a meal and you eat when you are already full. The other is promoting the fun-size version. These are the candies often given out for Halloween. The idea here is one or two is enough. Candies with peanuts, M&M's, Reeses's, and Snickers tend to be healthier as the sugar jump is not as pronounced. On the other hand, Skittle's and Twizzlers are almost pure sugar, and are good if your blood sugar is too low.
So the answer is enjoy, but be careful. If your sugar is already too high, you should avoid candy all together.
