What you need to be cautious about for DM2 is sugar. Chocolate has many types, some containing mostly sugar, which you should avoid; Some chocolate contains less sugar, for example, dark chocolate that contains less than 20% of sugar; you may be able to consume this type a few squares daily up to lunchtime ( consuming it too late may cause you to be difficult to sleep). This type of chocolate contains polyphenols, which is beneficial.
