ISO cookies for diabetics

You might also consider asking a dietitian for free advice, but of course each person's diet is different.

my DH made some great low sugar low arb choc chip cookies for some of my coworkers. i'm telling him to post it here with the site he got it from. i believe it was the american diabetes association

This address was given to me At the Virtual Grocery Store. I made them, and most people couldn't tell the difference and they vanished just as quickly as my regular cookies. My Diabetic friends raved about them. I wanted to use the recipe as a starting point to make a better Diab Cookie, but was told rather plainly to leave it as is... lol.

diabetes is diabetes, exchanges are the best way to go..sugar,is a carb so do a carb exchange and make the cookie a small one...What i do is my meal is meat and salad and a veggie, then I check my BG after 2 hours if in limits I have a very small piece of what I want..lets say a normal slice of pie, I then cut that in half and put the other part away for the next day..Make sure you test and watch the carbs..your reward is better health and a beautiful baby.

Then again, my lowest since the surgery has been 170 which for me is a record low!! That is in the morning when I get up and before I eat. So, on the exchange, I would never be allowed a cookie!!
Luckily DW has a soft heart and lets me get away with having sweets now and then!

she eats sugar. just a limited amt. so i guess what i'm looking for is a recipe calling for maybe whole wheat flour, and a limited amt of sugar. she doesn't do well with refined things i.e. all purpose white flour, white rice etc.

loves, you really should try the recipe my DH posted (sixsix210). I have a variety of diabetics at work, even type 1 that is on a pump, and she ate the cookies and they didn't cause issues.
