Help.. My sister is diabetic patient .So tell three things to use instead of Sugar .?

Question

+Any recipe will help .
Have a nice day .

Answer 1

I'm a diabetic too. I enjoy carrots. Shredded carrots taste sweet, do you like carrot cake?
Carrots as sweeteners are only good for some things, I wouldn't put carrot peelings on cereal.

Answer 2

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

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

Answer 3

http://www.splenda.com has some excellent recipes using Splenda as a sugar substitute.

You can also use Stevia or Sweet and Low.

Be aware though, that it isn't just sugar that is bad for diabetics. It is carbohydrates in general that have to be watched. So if you make a sugar free cake, it is still laden with carbohydrates and could cause your sister health problems.

Answer 4

I use Splenda to cook with.

I use Stevia sweetener for my beverages.

Actually you can use Splenda for all sugar needs.

Go into Splenda.com. They have loads of recipes. They are very good.

If you want to help her more, talk to her dietitian. If she hasn't seen one yet, make an appointment and go with her.

The Diabetic Diet is good for everyone whether they are a diabetic or not.

Also check out The American Diabetic Assn.com.

They have every thing you want to know, including how to help your sister.

Answer 5

Splenda, Equal, Sweet n low are all good for sugar substitutes. You have to try them all to see which you like best.

One tip I will pass along. I have found Multi-Grain tortillas at Sam's Club (I don't know the brand name). After subtracting the number of grams of fiber each tortilla has 6 net grams of carbs. I use them to make wraps instead of making sandwiches. I can make 2 wraps which have less carbs than one slice of bread and they have the same amount of other things as 2 sandwiches which would have 4 slices of bread. That makes a huge difference.

Answer 6

Im a diabetic of 20 years & currently on a insulin pump...I find tht I like Equal for my cereal & coffee but Splenda is great for cooking & making Kool Aid(lol)...go to Splenda.com they have TONS of receipes!!!

Answer 7

i'm also one, try splenda,equal at first she might not like it but try making some tea or a cake with it and dont tell her,then get her reaction if she likes it tell her what its made of and get her to try other stuff.if she doesnt dont tell her and try something else till you find something that will change her mind about sugar.be patient with her,being diabetic is really hard,especially with all these fast food places and no diabetic menus.

Answer 8

I agree with mostly everyone else. Splenda is excellent. It's actually made from sugar, so it tastes like regular sugar. It doesn't have the same nasty taste like aspartame and some other sweeteners.

Answer 9

Even though many everyday foods — from cereals to chewing gum to diet beverages — are sweetened with artificial sweeteners, many Americans still wonder if these substances are really safe. Are they harmful? What are the possible side effects of regularly consuming them?

Sugar substitutes are compounds that offer the sweetness of sugar without adding to the calories or elevating blood sugar. These non-nutritive (i.e., no-calorie) sweeteners are highly concentrated; their sweetness ranges from 200 to 13,000 times sweeter than regular sugar. They are helpful for many people trying to cut down on the number of calories they consume, to lose weight, and to control diabetes.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved five artificial sweeteners that are reportedly safe to consume daily over a lifetime. In order for an artificial sweetener to be FDA approved, it must be tested for safety. Although numerous studies have been conducted on artificial sweeteners and their relation to cancer, research has found no evidence to support such a link in humans.

With all the dietary supplements around that are not regulated by the FDA, I thought it would be enlightening to list the calorie-free sugar substitutes that are approved by the FDA:

Aspartame. Teaspoon for teaspoon, aspartame has the same number of calories as sugar, but with one big difference: Since aspartame is 200 times sweeter, most amounts of it consumed are virtually calorie free. It is sold under the brand names NutraSweet®, Sugar Twin®, and Equal® and is typically found as a tabletop sweetener or as an ingredient in chewing gums, breakfast cereals, and soft drinks.
Saccharin. Sold under the brand names Sweet'N Low®, Sweet Twin®, and Necta Sweet®, saccharin is 200 to 700 times sweeter than sugar. It is typically found as a tabletop sweetener or as an ingredient in chewing gums, soft drinks, baked goods, and jams.
Acesulfame-K. Also 200 times sweeter than sugar, Acesulfame-K is sold under the brand names Sunnet® and Sweet One®. It is typically found as a tabletop sweetener and in baked goods, frozen desserts, candies, beverages, cough drops, and breath mints.
Neotame. This one packs a real wallop — it's 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar — and is typically found in baked goods, soft drinks, chewing gums, frostings, frozen desserts, jams, jellies, gelatins, puddings, processed fruits and fruit juices, toppings, and syrups.
Sucralose. Sold under the brand name Splenda® and approved as a general-purpose sweetener in all foods, sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar.
More and more new products are being prepared with these artificial sweeteners, making those foods very low in calories or entirely calorie-free. For more information on artificial sweeteners and their safety, visit: www.fda.gov or www.eatright.org.
