Tell you dad to read the book "21 days to a healthy heart" I got mine off of amazon for really cheap and they have other copies. It opened my eyes! It doesn't sound like a book for diabetics but it is and actually I recommend it to anyone! The author is Alan L. Watson. In the mean time he should NOT be eating any refined sugar at all! Nor should he eat any white flour or anything made with white flour. If you want to have something to share try some healthy lower glycemic index fruit salad to him. Cherries and grapefruit are the lowest, then pears, plums, apples, oranges and grapes. Bananas are high as is watermelon. You can use real whipped cream for blending it together perhaps but don't add sugar to it. Best wishes to your dad! Oh and Im sorry I forgot you are a vegan so the cream is out but just try the fruit then Im sure it will be great.

Answer 9

You take any favorite recipe and use Splenda in place of the sugar. I was really amazed it tasted just like a cookie made with sugar.
