I don't think there is such a thing as a good diabetic desert, perhaps maybe low calorie, but those are not usually the best.

Angel food cake is a natural low calorie dessert (with-out frosting) I have always loved angel food cake and never understood why people ruin it with frosting.

Fruit is a good option.

If you like Jello the sugar free Jello is good you can not tell the difference.

But be careful a lot of "sugar free" items are labeled misleadingly it mat be sugar free but not calorie free, it may be sweetened with a sugar substitute, so read the label very carefully on the sugar free candies, cookies, and ice cream.

Sorbitol is a "sugar substitute" that was actually first used as a laxative, beware of sorbitol!

Also You need to be aware it is not all just about sugar.

A diabetic needs to monitor carbohydrate intake the body converts ALL carbs to sugar.

Carbs are also in breads, pastas, potatoes, etc. (all starches)read carb. contents on labels.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

One of my boyfriends had diabetes. It wasn't really that hard to cater for, just cut out anything sugary as I'm sure you know.

Try stir-fried veggies with rice. Pasta with tomato sauce and cheese. Pizza. French fries. Veggie burgers & veggie dogs, etc.

For desserts, you pretty much need to make your own to get them sugar-free. Just make the same recipe only use artificial sweetners instead of sugar. Or there are also diabetic snacks in most large supermarkets. There are some by Hershey's and Reese's that are sugar-free.

I'm sure you will also find lots of resources online.

You can also pick up pamphlets from your doctor's office for tips.

Best of luck to you and your father.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 8

It's not really that hard to make changes. Just cut out the sugars and excess carbohydrates. There are a lot of sugar free products in the markets that taste much better than they did 10 years ago.
Make sure you use a lot of vegetables, fruits and meats.
Cooked carrots have more sugars than raw carrots.
Just read the lables on foods and go from there.

Brownies:

came from the recipe board at www.spotlighthealth.com from a girl called kassie_w. its good for gastric bypass patients or diabetics cause its sugar free


1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 cup granular sucrolose artificial sweetener (eg. splenda)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


pre-heat oven to 350 degrees f.
spray pam and flour an 8x8 inch pan.
in a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt margarine and cocoa together, stirring occasionally until smooth.
remove from heat and set aside to cool.
in a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy.
stir in sucrolose sugar.
combine the flour and salt; stir into the egg mixture then mix in the cocoa and margerine.
finally stir in the 1/4 cup of milk and if desired, the walnuts.
pour into the prepared pan bake for 25- 30 mins in the pre-heated oven.

This is a creamy coleslaw that is made with Splenda. Everyone who has tried it loves it.

8 cups finley chopped cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons finley chopped onions
1/3 cup Splenda granular
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice


Be sure cabbage and carrots are chopped up into small pieces (about the size of rice).
Combine Splenda, salt, pepper, milk, mayonnasie, buttermilk, vinegar, and lemon juice in a large bowl and beat until smooth.
Add the cabbage , carrots and onion and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for at leat 2 hours.
I like to use the premade slaw mix, and chop it up finer and then mix the wet ingrediants.
