I am a really bad cook and want to attempt an easy meal for my husband for Valentines Day. He is diabetic so I am unable to cook anything with too much sugar in it, he also does not eat pork or ham so that is out as well.

My father-in-law is diabetic (slightly) so he tries not to eat anything that diabetics cant eat. For 4th of July I was going to make an angel food cake with low fat/sugar free whipped cream on the top with fruit layers on top of that.

My dilemma – i looked up the recipe for angel food cake and there is sugar in it – i was going to just buy an angel food cake at the store, but now that i see it has sugar would it be ok for my father-in-law to eat?

Any suggestions for a dessert for diabetics would be appreciated (easy recipes and easy to travel with).

I ate a bowl of oatmeal, a banana and had coffee this morning morning, I had a handful of almonds for a midmorning snack, for lunch I had a tuna salad sandwich with a yogurt, for a snack I ate an apple with some cheese slices and then for dinner I had baked chicken with brown rice and mixed veggies. My dessert was a strawberry cheesecake flavored yogurt. Ok I don’t know if this is a lot to eat but to me it seemed pretty healthy. So why am I sitting here at 8 pm freaking ravished. I feel all shaky and my belly is growling. I had over 1500 calories with carbs and proteins so why am I still starving. Every time I eat healthy I end up starving no matter what I eat. I’m tired of spending extra money on healthy food only to end up raiding my fridge at night b/c my belly won’t stop growling and I feel my blood sugar drop. I’m not diabetic I’m just trying to lose weight. What can I do?

I need to have some snack ideas. My daughter is having a party so she is having lots of friends over. A few of her friends are diabetic so I need some sugar-free snack foods and locations in which to buy them or sugar-free recipes. If you could help me with some snack foods and maybe a few recipes. ( not to many cause i don’t like cooking for parties).

My dad has type 2 diabetes. He’s had it for a few years but after spending some time in the hospital recently for nearly slipping into a diabetic coma, he finally has decided to take it seriously (thank GOD).

I’ve been trying for years to help him out by making sugar-free treats, since he’s quite the sweet tooth, but I’m realizing I need to learn more. When I look at the nutrition labels, I don’t know what’s healthy and what’s not. What’s considered an “okay” amount of calories and carbs? I know the lower the better, but how low is that? It seems impossible to avoid them altogether.

Specifically this is bothering me right now because he’s got a birthday coming up and I’m throwing him a surprise party, and I would love to make him some chocolate cupcakes. I think he should be able to enjoy his favorite food on his birthday, just not at the cost of his health. What amount of calories, carbs, and sugar is safe for him to eat in a dessert?

Thanks in advance for the help.
I don’t know if this makes a difference, but he’s 46, he doesn’t exercise but he walks a LOT during the day at work. He’s had his blood sugar around 100 for the past couple weeks.
The reason I’m making cupcakes is so he’s not tempted to eat more than one serving size. I plan on making just enough for all the people at the birthday party.
For the desserts I try to use stevia rather than aspartame or other fake sugars.

I’m going to my grandparents house with my mom. I love to cook and bake want to prove that i’m a really good cook. Do you have any recipies for like breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks?? Anything is good. Please say if it’s really sugary because, my grandpa is a diabetic. I need something that I don’t have to slave over all day to make. I’d really appreciate it.
I need something that isn’t very fattening, or loaded with sugar. =) But anything is good, so i can use them for a get together, or party.
