I make the pumpkin pie (Libbey's recipe) sub equal or splenda

Remember it is simple carbs need to be limited (not neccessarily excluded entirely). includes white rice, potatoes, white flour, etc.

Sub Brown rice, Whole wheat pasta, high fiber breads for their white/processed counterparts.

Here is a great book to read. It was a fantastic help when my husband was first diagnosed. It dispelled alot of the myths.

Answer 4

Angel Food Cake can be eaten in small amounts by diabetics, but I advise him to cut back on the other carbohydrates during that meal in order to not upset the diet and blood sugar much. I use the same type of recipe for cakes for my family using Cool Whip. For the 4th, you could use Fat Free Cool Whip with strawberries or raspberries and blueberries. You are so thoughtful of your father-in-law. I am a diabetic and the hospital gives angel food cake as a dessert for their diabetic patients.

Answer 5

My dad's doctor said whole wheat bread is best, but no more than 2 slices a day. Splenda is great for sweetening, but for baking or cooking I suggest the Splenda Brown Sugar. My dad and sister, both diabetics, swear it tastes just like cooking with regular sugar. I've mostly just adjusted the amounts of salts and carbs I add to the food I serve. My dad also has high blood pressure and can only have 1/4 tsp total of salt a day.

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 7

The way diabetics eat pizza is to just consume the toppings, depending on what they are of course, but not the bread. Not the same, but a substitute "foundation" is an egg omelet with pizza toppings . . tomato sauce (very sparingly), cheese, olives, mushrooms . . perhaps small pieces of beef wieners or other types of meat.
