What motivated me to buy Clemmy’s ice cream was the great taste. I tried their ice cream for the first time at a JDRF Gala a few months ago and found it to be the best tasting sugar-free ice cream available on the market. It has a natural sweetness to it instead of an obvious artificial flavoring and unnatural sweetness that so many other sugar-free ice creams have. It’s the perfect treat on a hot summer day, especially since it won’t affect my blood sugar.

I became a Clemmy’s believer at the JDRF Gala. We were served the ice cream on top of some pie I believe (I don’t remember the pie so much; just the ice cream) and purchased some for my home shortly after. I didn’t realize how healthy Clemmy’s is for you until after I began purchasing it for myself. The ingredients are natural and healthier for you, while still maintaining a great taste. You can indulge in some delicious ice cream without feeling so guilty about it like you would with other artificial ice creams.

Clemmy’s ice cream has made a difference in my life through their support for JDRF. Their monetary and ice cream donations are helping us find a cure for diabetes and to encourage others to get involved and do the same. It is comforting to know there are large companies, corporations, and manufacturers such as Clemmy’s that care and are doing so much to help us reach our goals.

Sugar-free ice cream impacts my family because I am a Type I diabetic and have been for over six years now. When I was diagnosed, I was severely disappointed in the changes I had to make in flavors and availability in food in order to accommodate my blood sugars. This has been the first time I have been able to say that I would choose a sugar-free product over a sugary one. It allows me to enjoy great tasting treats without worrying about my blood sugars, and that is quite the accomplishment. Thank you for that!!
