What motivated you to look for and buy Clemmy’s Ice Cream?
My husband found Clemmy’s on the Internet while doing some research on diabetes. Eight years ago, before our youngest son was diagnosed with type 1 at age seven, he used to eat ice cream a few nights a week before bedtime. After his diagnosis, he had to switch to cottage cheese. Once my husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he was motivated to find a satisfying, sugar-free ice cream because he really felt deprived not being able to eat his favorite dessert.
When and why did you become a Clemmy’s believer?
We found and tried Clemmy’s for the first time in the spring of 2009. Tasting is believing!
How has Clemmy’s all-natural sugar-free ice cream made a difference in your life?
Having Clemmy’s in the freezer is a wonderful thing, just knowing that any time we have the urge for ice cream, it’s right there. It’s rich, it’s creamy, it’s delicious, and it’s free from sugar. Life is good.
How does sugar-free ice cream impact your family?
Our whole family can eat Clemmy’s ice cream, even the diabetics, and nobody gets left out. Having delicious, sugar-free, all-natural ice cream available brings happiness! I buy all the different flavors. I even wrote a poem about Clemmy’s.
Clemmy’s Ice Cream

Something magical now exists,
And it’s even sugar free.
Clemmy’s Ice Cream is delicious.
Try it; you’ll agree.
This ice cream is enchanting.
It’s creamy, fun and rich.
The fellow who concocted it
Has surely found his niche.
The name came from his cat
Who inspired him the most.
Now the ice cream is the favorite
Of people coast to coast.
Tasting is believing.
That’s what they always say.
Now YOU try Clemmy’s Ice Cream.
You’ll want it every day!
