Answer 2

Unsweetened applesauce can be used to substitute for vegetable oil with varying degrees of success, but not to replace butter, lard, or margarine. If your recipe calls for 1/2 cup of oil or less and is a quick bread, muffin, or bar cookie, it should work to replace the oil with applesauce. If the recipe calls for more that 1/2 cup oil, then experiment with half oil , half applesauce.
The diabetes healthy exchange cookbook.

Personal experience has come out good using applesauce in cakes.

Agave Nectar-go to yahoo and enter Agave Nectar. You will come up with several sites. I read through a lot of them and get the impression that it works to cook with , but not to use as a lone syrup, as in on pancakes or french toast.



As a diabetic I have come to rely on The Nation Diabetic Association for recipes and substitutions.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that is basically fat-shaming diabetics for causing their own diabetes with their bad diet and lack of exercise and general lack of moral fibre. A lot of this stuff is written by non-doctors, often with a supplement or diet or training plan to sell that they claim will completely cure diabetes if only people stick to it.

I read this interesting book https://tr.im/f2T3x that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too. 

I hope it helps
