Hi.

I’m thinking of cooking for a friend’s mum tonight. She’s diabetic. She went on holiday to Greece and had a some meals especially made for her.

Could someone please pass some on me to me,please?

Thanks and have a great Sunday!

I know it is high GI but does not represent much of the total amount?

Does anyone know how to modify the recipe so I use Agar Agar instead?

Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
This is perhaps my favorite homemade ice cream. It’s thick and creamy and oh-so-sinful. But it also has blueberries in it, so you can pretend it’s good for you. (It’s a good idea to check out my General Guidelines and Advice before starting to cook.)

2 c. Silk soy creamer
1 c. vegan cream cheese (approx. 8-ounce container Tofutti)
¾ c. sugar
1 T. lemon juice
½ c. soy milk
2 T. arrowroot
1 t. vanilla

1 c. blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/8 c. sugar
splash lemon juice

Combine soy creamer, cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat and mix contents. It will take some whisking to break up the cream cheese and get it to dissolve. While heating, combine the ½ cup soy milk and 2 tablespoons arrowroot and set aside. Once the pan’s contents are boiling, take from heat and add soy milk–arrowroot mixture. The liquid should thicken quickly. Add vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.

Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat until boiling and some blueberries have burst. Set aside to cool.

Freeze cream cheese mixture according to ice cream maker instructions. Add blueberries 5 minutes before end of freezing cycle.

Does anyone know a good source of diabetic ice cream recipes using stevia Xylito?

For a few weeks now whenever I eat I feel very sick afterwards, but I’ve noticed it only happens if I drink a regular soda with the meal or if I snack on something with sugar in it – like candy, mint lozenges and desserts. I’ve also been VERY thirsty, to the point where I need a bottle of water on me at all times – and yes, I do use the bathroom alot more. My father is a diabetic (type 2) This morning he pricked his finger and tested his blood it was 220, then he tested mine and it was 180. He told me thats not TOO high, but that it wasnt normal either. I dont know anything about diabetes so what does it mean if my blood sugar is 180? Could it be I’m really diabetic?
Oh yeah, I’m 22 years old, dont drink, dont smoke and I’m slightly overweight – I had a baby when I was 18 and was put on pregnosone right after for a medical condition – I’ve never lost the baby weight… I also get frequent yeast infections and bacterial vaginois infections.
My dad tested my blood sugar at 11:30 this morning, I had just gotten up (because I was sick the night before) so I had nothing in my system other than water.

My diabetic Father-in-law will be coming for Christmas + two weeks.

He has an awful sweet-tooth, and with all of the Christmas baking I do for my own family of 5, I need some ideas of desserts and other tempting appetizers that will help me keep him out of harm’s way.

He has a habit of sneaking into the sweets when he thinks he isn’t being watched. So I need some really deceptive dishes – dishes he thinks he shouldn’t be eating.

That way I can have a secret stash of the “good stuff” for the rest of us.

Anyone have any wonderful, sugar-free recipes?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to put Christmas cookies/candies together for my boyfriend’s family, but his mother is diabetic and I’m confused by the “Diabetic Exchange” at the bottom of the recipe. Most say to use cake flour. Is that better than the bleached all purpose flour that most people use?

Also, any ideas for good cookie/candy type desserts are much appreciated! I’ve been sifting through web sites for hours and it’s a lot more difficult than I thought it would be, but I do not want her to feel left out at all!

Thank you so much for your help! =]

My Uncle recently had a mild stroke. He also has high cholesterol and high blood pressure. My Aunt has tried to cook healthy meals for him…but he is a “meat & potatoes” man. He doesn’t like salads and most greens. Unless it’s beef and potatoes, he doesn’t like it. So I need all you chefs out there to give me some good healthy recipes to help spice up some of the vegetable and chicken dishes.

My best friend’s boyfriend is a diabetic. My family would like to invite them to our home to have dinner with us. We want to serve a dinner that all can enjoy together. Desserts with sugar of course are out of the question but other foods may have sugar that we are not be aware of. Any suggestions on a menu??
