Try your local diabetes association. I'm sure they sell something suitable. Check the local phone directory. They could also advise on other chocolate substitues that are more suitable.
Just be aware that many types of sugar-free chocolate use a sweetener that also has laxative properties, so you shouldn't try to eat too much at once.
My Dad is diabetic. We have a local shop in S. Jersey that sells sugarless chocolate. I would check the yellow pages for a local confectionary, call them and ask if they sell sugarless stuff.
So how do they make sugarless chocolate? They use things like frustose and mannitol, which have caloric value but are much sweeter than sucrose so they can use much less.
There are online shops that sell sugarless chocolate, but they tend to be very pricey. But search Google and you'll find lots.
