Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

   I am not exactly sure what diabetics can’t eat, other than too much sugar. Could you make the sugar cookie recipe or any cookie recipe with a sugar substitute? Then you need to find the equivalent to regular suger. 1 cup = ? substitite

   I am not only a former chef I am alos a level 2 diabetic, and with the availablity of sugar substitiutes like Splenda, Nutra Sweet and evn one called stevia, it come in liquid and powder.

   I make all the traditional recipes with either white splenda or brown sugar type, but carbs are also a big issue for diabetics, they to can elevate the blood sugar levels, fats to have to be reduced, as most diabetic have both weight issues and like me a cholesterol problem brought on by my meds.

   Things can be made with low fat marg or a combo of it and a small amount of butter, flours like rice, Whole wheat and rye make things have less carbs.

   Just adapt things for this method, there are alot of recipes on the packaging and at the American and Canadian Diabetic Associations websites, you can still enjoy things but with less fat, sugar and carbs if done right.
