Ice Cream... you scream... Let's Eat!

Diabetic Life is always on the look out for the “Real Deal” in products and services that is in the best interest of all of us who live with diabetes.  We were recently informed about a new “All Natural – Sugar Free Ice Cream” that will not send our blood sugar levels through the roof.  Obviously that got our attention, not that we LOVE ice cream or anything… but if we can eat a great tasting ice cream with no negative affect, well then we are going to seriously check this out.

Jon Gordon, the inventor of Clemmy's Ice Cream is a man who REALLY loves his ice cream.  He claims he was up to a pint a day, at one point.  When a routine physical check-up showed his glucose level was “through the roof,” Gordon's doctor told him that if he didn't cut back, he was likely to develop Type 2 diabetes.

After that visit to the doctor's office, Gordon stopped eating ice cream cold turkey, but never lost his craving for it.  Jon began his quest to create a sugar-free ice cream that tasted like real ice cream.  He bought a commercial ice cream maker and started to experiment at home. He toiled in his Rancho Mirage, California kitchen for 14-16 hours a day — often until 2:00-3:00 o'clock in the morning.

He insisted that his ice cream have the rich and creamy texture he'd loved since childhood, but it also had to be completely sugar-free and completely natural.  After much trial and error, Gordon felt he had perfected the secret recipe to his indulgent, all natural, sugar-free premium ice cream.  He had created Clemmy's, named after his beloved pet cat that had been his constant companion throughout his months of ice cream development and tasting.

So what makes Clemmy's different?  It's crafted with a subtle, natural sweetener called xylitol.  While the name may sound funny, it's actually a naturally occurring sugar substitute found in many fruits and vegetables including berries, cornhusks, birch and mushrooms.  Possessing approximately 40% less food energy, this natural sweetener is a low-calorie alternative that the body absorbs more slowly than sugar — and it doesn't contribute to high blood sugar levels.

Clemmy's is 99.7% lactose free and certified as “Kosher-Dairy” by the Orthodox Union, one of the strictest kosher certifying agencies in the world.

Clemmy's Ice Cream is the original all-natural, sugar-free ice cream.  Try it yourself and taste nature's magic difference!

For those of us living with diabetes, eating refined sugar is not an option.  But now it looks like we can rejoice and eat delicious, super-premium ice cream, thanks to Clemmy's all-natural, sugar-free ice cream.

As with everything, moderation is key, so don't go over board. But if we can enjoy premium ice cream that tastes great and will not blast our blood sugar levels to the moon… that's cause for celebration!

Clemmy's is a socially conscious company, deeply committed to JDRF on a national level.
