Are there any good recipes or deserts that anyone knows that tastes halfway good. He wants sweets all the time and just go diagnosed with it last month. I want to be supportive so can someone lead me to some good recipes.

The best sweetener that I have found is "SPLENDA"...0 calories..I use it in baking, on cereals, coffee...Works just like sugar..No carbohydrates

A sweet tooth is nothing new for a diabetic. There are cook books designed for the diabetic. One thing that needs to be ensureure is that teh diabetes is under control before gving in to a sweet tooth. I have been a diabetic since 1982. My blood sugars at first were not under control and I drank regular sodas. Today, I have my blood sugar under control but see sodas as empty calories. I sometimes treat myself to a Hersheys bar but often refrain from eating sweets. As I said find different cook books for some great recipes. I actually subscribe to a diabetic cook book that has many different ideas.

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.

Believe it or not, diabetic can eat sweet stuff. He just needs to control the amount and the frequency. You can also use substitute sugar but remember, carbohydrates eventually turn to sugar, and many baked goods are both sugarly and carbo-happy.
The best thing you can do is to have him monitor his blood sugar by a portable glucose meter, and help him figure out his tolarences and limits, and enjoy the food based on the finding.
Where as glucose meter will give you an instanteneous number (ie. right now), an A1C test (lab test) will give you 3 month average. Your husband should have both checked at regular interval (usually 3 months) to keep both of then in check.

First off, Ice cream is not deadly.
Your husband can still enjoy those sweet treats he likes.
It's all about counting carbs.Get yourself a book about carb values in food.
He can always switch out a carb in a meal for dessert or a snack.
Make an appointment with a dietitian and go to some "welcome to diabetes" classes.
I know this is all confusing right now.The more you both learn, the better off you will be.
Call the ADA for a start, read everything you can about diabetes that was written in the past five years.
Good luck.

Actually, 1/2 cup of ice cream generally is a good choice! Also, the "diabetic," low-sugar ice creams are about the same carb-wise, so just buy what he likes (check the labels first though).
It is all about carb counting. A diabetic can eat sweets, he or she just needs to work them into their daily menu plan.

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.

replace all of your sugar with Splenda in your baking recipes, including the brown sugar......there is also candies and chocolate for the diabetics, and yes they taste good; also pick up a diabetic cook book, the best one is Betty Crockers there is some amazing recipes in there like apple pie and cheesecake that if proportioned properly he can have

Sounds like he isn't willing to accept his condition just yet. If you want to be supportive, get him this book: http://www.diabetesimprovement.com/diabetesbook.html
There is no rational reason to want sweets all the time. That's not what life is about. Best recipe: Tossed green salad.
