Eliminate the sugar. If they are on insulin, t doesn't matter they can take extra for one day. If not on insulin, well, avoid all sugar and limit carbohydrates. If you use fruit without sugar, it's not sugar - it's fructose which doesn't have the same effect.

Cheesecake made with a ground almond base is good, I'm sorry I don't have an actual recipe, I just mix philidelphia cream cheese, melted chocolate and whipped cream together and put it on a baked ground almond base (ground almonds and butter, baked until a light golden).
Cream puffs made with unsweetened cream and a dark chocolate ganache are fairly easy on the blood sugars and easy to make.
Try not to go overboard on eating and taking extra insulin, it can affect you for a few days. Anything ending in 'ose' is probably a sugar and they all act pretty much the same just at very slightly different speeds.

How about this
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
2 x 250g packages of cream cheese 1 (4 serving) pack of instant chocolate fudge pudding mix 2/3 c non fat dry milk powder 1 c water ¾ c whipped topping 1 chocolate pie crust 6 tbspns peanut butter 1 (2 ½”) chocolate biscuits, made into crumbs 1 tbspns chopped dry roasted peanuts
In a large bowl, stir cream cheese with a sturdy spoon until soft.Add dry pudding mix, dry milk powder and water.Mix well using a wire whisk.
Blend in ¼ cup whipped topping.Carefully spread into pie crust.Refrigerate while preparing topping.
In a medium bowl, stir peanut butter with a spoon until soft.Fold in remaining ½ cup whipped topping.Spread mixture evenly over cream cheese filling.Evenly sprinkle chocolate biscuit crumbs and peanuts over top.Refrigerate for a least two hours.
For an extra special topping shave white chocolate over the top just before serving.
Makes: 8 servings
Notes:This is an American recipe and we do not have some of the items listed in ingredients.
1. You will have to make up your own pie crust.Do this by crushing biscuits and mixing this with butter or Flora Light. 2. Whipped Topping Mix (this is a low fat alternative to whipped cream) 3. I used Philadelphia Lite Cream Cheese 4. I used less peanut butter (only 2 tablespoons) 5. You can use different flavoured instant puddings and mix in other flavours into the topping mix to create a number of different cheesecakes – sugar free/low cal instant puddings

50g of fructose will evelvate the BG at a slightly slower rate than 50g of glucose, but it will still screw you over!
