Product Description
Product Description
Desserts can occasionally be part of a sensible diabetes meal plan. This book features a rich array of desserts that will appeal to anyone and each recipe include complete nutritional information as well as Food Choice Values.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Preface
This book of desserts is for people living with diabetes and for their families and friends -- just about everyone! By 2010, 10% of the population of the United States and Canada will have diabetes, so it's a rare person who does not know someone with this disease.
The recipes selected for this book were not specifically developed for people with diabetes, but we have chosen ones that can be worked into most people's meal plans. Many are special-occasion treats, but some can fit in more often.
To help you include these recipes in your meals, each recipe has a breakdown of calorie, carbohydrate, fiber and other nutrients, plus America's Food Exchanges and Canada's Food Choices.
In the introduction, we look at
- who has diabetes, and why we should be concerned about this disease;
- food and nutrition recommendations for people with diabetes; and
- "budgeting" for desserts: how you can plan to include these treats in your meals.
In addition, in case you don't wind up with the same number of cookies as we did when preparing a recipe, we've included a "cookie calculator" that allows you to recalculate a single serving.
Following the introduction, you will find a table of nutrient values for common dessert ingredients, as well as two worksheets, so you can figure out how to fit your own favorite desserts into your meal plan. Would you like to know the Exchanges or Choices for a serving of a favorite recipe? The worksheets on pages 18-29 will help you estimate them.
Throughout the book, you will find "Barb's nutrition notes" and other tips that will help you prepare and enjoy these recipes.
Whether you're controlling your diabetes through diet and exercise alone, or with the help of oral medication or insulin, I hope you'll enjoy the recipes in this book and find the tips helpful.

Great!,

This review is from: Canada's 150 Best Diabetes Desserts (Paperback)
I was skeptical about this book because I thought the desserts would taste bland, but I tried a couple of the muffin recipes and absolutely loved them and so did my friends. I can't wait to try more.

Very Disappointed,
By B. Fuller "Bill F." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: 150 Best Diabetes Desserts (Paperback)
Don't buy this book if you are expecting low carb alternative recipes. They all contain sugar and most of them contain lots of sugar. Often a very small portion will have well over 20 carbs. I could never use these recipes without significantly elevating my blood sugar. I tried substituting artificial sugar but then why bother buying the book? There are much better selections on the net - better tasting too. Grab you wallet and save your money.

Excellent Book!,
By D. W. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 150 Best Diabetes Desserts (Paperback)
I'm not diabetic, but I liked the idea of healthier desserts. None of the recipes are sugar free, but they do use less sugar and there are a lot of substitutions of yogurt, applesauce, or sour cream for oil or butter. I've only tried a couple of recipes so far, but I must say, they are delicious!!! I don't generally like lemon flavored desserts, but my family of three, including me, devoured all 20 servings of the lemon poppyseed cake in just a couple of days! The lemon lime cookies are quite similar to sugar cookies, but don't quite taste as sugary as sugar cookies. I didn't care for them as well as the lemon poppyseed cake, but they weren't bad, by any means. And the sour cream brownies, well, is it possible to say anything bad about anything made with chocolate??? :)
