its not that bad....depends on the variety take
and from what i remember of the ingredients, i wouldnt think its suitable on the atkins.....
it has still got sugar in it....just heaily reduced levels with it being substituted as much as possible for fructose, sweetners and had high enough fat levels....so i guess its designed to cause as minimal insulin spike as possible, but i still wouldn't chance it if i was serious enough to want to stick to an atkins....do CKD if your desperate for carbs at some point

Diabetic Chocolate
You can manage your diabetes and still eat delicious sweet treats by switching to diabetic chocolate. The key is to avoid high blood sugar and low blood sugar by following a well-designed eating plan, but there are specific diabetic kinds of chocolate which enable you to do this while still maintaining all the deliciousness of an ordinary diet. In fact, many of these diabetic candy treats taste better than the sugar rich varieties we normally eat yet they are considerably more healthy.
Normally, the body produces a hormone called insulin. With diabetes, the ability to make or utilize insulin is impaired. Without insulin, the body can't properly use glucose, the simple sugar the body produces from the food we eat. Insulin is the key that unlocks cells and lets the glucose enter, thus providing energy for critical cell metabolism. But you can live with diabetes and still eat delicious chocolate all the time with diabetic chocolate.
Diabetic Chocolate Can Be For Everyone
There is no reason to assume that this chocolate is only for those who have diabetes. In fact, its low sugar content is ideal for anybody wishing to pursue a healthier low carb diet. For diabetics however it is the best and by far the safest way to enjoy chocolate and yet keep your insulin levels steady and safe.
Take time early on to educate yourself. Then try sugar free chocolate for yourself. You'll be surprised to find that eating sugar free chocolate will become second nature rather quickly and you will be amazed at how delicious it is.
