My mom is diabetic and much prefers a tiny slice of something with sugar to something that is sugar free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-for-a-diabetic#post-2883237 Sat, 04 May 2019 06:59:29 +0000 Kimberlybee 2883237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookie cakes are always a yummy alternative.<br /> I found this recipe that could work.<br /> <a href="https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-chocolate-chip-cookie-pie/" rel="nofollow">https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/sugar-free-chocolate-chip-cookie-pie/</a></p> <p>We also have a local shop that specializes in Sugarfree and gluten free options.

A granola- yogurt- fruit parfait could be another option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-for-a-diabetic#post-2883212 Fri, 03 May 2019 18:18:18 +0000 Pollywog 2883212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely ask. My SIL was okay with an almond cake made with spenda. For my grandpa I'd make berries with whipped cream. We used very little sugar in it (if any,I honestly think there wasn't any in there). It was delicious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-for-a-diabetic#post-2883211 Fri, 03 May 2019 18:12:47 +0000 Eminthevalley 2883211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I would just ask her what she would like. My husband is type 2 and the sugar free stuff isn’t really cool for a lot of reasons ...he honestly just likes fruit. I made strawberry shortcakes before with an almond flour recipe that had no sugar, fake or otherwise and that was great. Some diabetics are okay with occasional indulgences and some are not. Just ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-for-a-diabetic#post-2883187 Fri, 03 May 2019 15:13:54 +0000 MamaBear87 2883187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sugar free is fine. That's what I would go with as she won't have to do anything special to enjoy a piece</p> <p>ETA you also have to be careful of carbs but most diabetics can indulge for special occasion </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cake-for-a-diabetic#post-2883185 Fri, 03 May 2019 14:49:37 +0000 Shantuck 2883185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is diabetic (I think type 2 but honestly I'm not sure as she doesn't really talk about it openly) and will be at our house for her birthday over Memorial Day weekend. I want to get some sort of celebratory treat but I'm unclear on what specifically she would be able to enjoy treat-wise. My husband is clueless and it never occurred to him that maybe we'd have to get something out of the ordinary for her. I know I've seen her eat sugar-free desserts (like an apple pie prepared with Splenda) so maybe that is the route to go. Let's be real... I'll probably order something but don't really even know what to ask for. Am I good getting something with an artificial sweetener or is that just as bad from a glycemic index standpoint? </p>
