Thank you for the info everyone.

Thought some may find this document useful, lists the GI and GL of some foods. (there's a section at the end about their proprietary foods but you can ignore that )

My favourite GI-friendly food of the day: apple balsamic vinegar. Tastes like apple cider vinegar and balsamic rolled into one! Vinegar is not only a great no-fat way to dress salads but also helps lower the GI of your meal.

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice the post.
I will have sweet treats. Most days I have a sweet after dinner. Usually it will be two dessert spoons of EasiYo yoghurt ( any flavour) with one of the following:
A punnet of blueberries 150g
Half a punnet of strawberries 150g
A punnet of raspberries 150g
Frozen berries are just as good and much cheaper.
Half a pear and half an apple chopped small
Two or three plums chopped small
A kiwi chopped small
Top off the bowl with 5g mixed seeds

A couple of days a week I'll allow myself one or two small kitkat bars or something similar. Beware they can set off a mini binge!
I always carry a Nakd bar, the 30g bars, which do fine with a coffee when meeting a friend for coffee.
I find that I have lost my sweet tooth to a large extent. I can sit while someone is having a gooey dessert and settle for a teaspoon of it just to taste it. Sugar is an addiction and we can control it. For me, GL has been the way to beat it!
