Why aren't there any sugar free items on your food shows? Diabetics can't eat most of the items shown. Maybe make it an option.

Lack of demand? Maybe sugar-free doesn't sell well.

@wackycatty Please don't speak for all diabetics! I am a type 2 and there isn't much I can't eat. The thing I must do is eat certain things in small portions and only infrequently.

But that's just me! I hate sugar free junk. I've never found anything sugar free that didn't have a bad after taste.

@wackycatty The diabetics I know don't like sugar free for a number of reasons. Digestive problems are foremost.That may be why they don't offer sugar free desserts. However, they do offer food without sugar, like fish, steak, etc. But, I don't think that is what you were referring to.

@Love my grandkidsI'm not diabetic, but I do need to controls the empty calories. Still, I'd much rahter have a small portion of "real" than any portion of sugar-free or fat-free.

@millieshops I agree! I hate fat free! I can do low fat in some things.

I would be interested in buying sugar free treats as gifts for relatives that enjoy them, and do not eat sugar.

@wackycatty I have only seen one candy vendor offer sugar free items on-air and that was Russell Stovers. You may have to check out the website as there is a selection of sugar free food items from cheesecake to candy.

@wackycatty If you are only looking for sugar-free options, look on their website (and others). QVC has several sugar-free desserts available online. Why wait for an on-air presentation, if that's what you really need?

My guess is sales are not that high to warrant an airing on TV too often. Junior's cheesecake is on air about once a year with their individual sized sugar-free cheesecakes. But that's all I can remember.
