Q: Any good diabetic recipes for Christmas goodies?
I usually make goodies baskets for everyone at Christmas. My Step-mom just found out she is diabetic. I still want to give them a basket, but I don’t have any appropriate recipes. Any ideas? I usually make several cookies and candies.

Thanks!

A: check these out

Q: Where can I find diabetic recipes?
I have a relative visiting soon who is on a diabetic diet. Does any know of any websites or sources for diabetic recipes? Thanks for your help.

A: Having had diabetes myself for over forty years, I have found that there really aren’t “diabetic” receipes. Diabetics eat the same food as anyone else, its only that the portions have to be managed. A balanced diet of carbs, proteins, vegs and fruits (The same that is recommended for everyone.) I think you will find that your guest will be happy if you just prepare your normal fare. We can even eat a small serving of regular dessert occaisionly. Hope this helps.

Q: does anyone have diabetic recipes for cupcakes and frostings?
I just got my pancake puff pan, and want to make little cupcake balls with frosting in them. My step dad is diabetic, so I need recipes. I know I could get these online, but I am looking for preferences and recommendations.
Sorry, but I cant decide on a best answer, so I will just have to let you decide.

A: You can substitute Splenda for equal amounts of sugar in any recipe. Look for Splenda for baking in the baking aisle. They even have a brown sugar version.

Q: Any good diabetic cake recipes?
My boyfriend has founf out he is a diabetic, and his birthday is coming up soon. I would like to make him a cake but want something that isnt too gross like the flaxseed muffins. Anyone have any good recipes or tips?

A: You can use any recipes you want for the cake, just make sure it doesnt have any fruit juice added to it (or a very small amount) or any powered sugar. Any regular sugar can be replaced by Splenda (or another sugar substitute) and any brown sugar can be replaced with Splnda Brown Sugar Blend. And remember to let him only have one or two small pieces of cake.

By the way they make a really good low sugar cake mix and frosting that can be found at kroger or other larger grocery stores.

Q: What are some easy, diabetic friendly recipes?
My boyfriend is moving into his own apartment now that he is done with college, and he can’t cook. I’m more than happy to teach him how to cook but he’s diabetic; I need some recipes that he is able to eat and that will be easy for a beginning cook. Any help and/or websites would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

A: This is a great website you and your boyfriend may like, there are tons of really great recipes… http://www.diabeticlivingonline.com/

Q: What are some good sites for finding diabetic recipes and information?
My dad was just diagnosed with diabetes type 2. It took all we had to convince him just to take the medication prescribed, so I would like to get as much information and recipes sent to him by mail, since he doesn’t use email.

A: The single best thing you can do for him is educate him on the disease. It doesn’t have to be a miserable death sentence. In fact, I’ve turned mine around and made it my goal to live as long and healthy as I can. Here are two links that I hope you’ll check out. This first is a book that I consider a must have… it’s only $10.00 and should be on every diabetic’s reading table:

And my informative little site:
