Diabetics shouldn't have dessert unless sugar levels are low, but if you have to.just make whatever with artificial sugar.

do a search of recipes there is a diabetic thread which I will bump for you. Diabetics can have a little sugar but nowhere near the amount that a non diabetic can have. Try not to use an artificial sweetener as often these leave a bitter after taste, one which I totally detest. Best would be fresh fruit but there are others. Diabetic NZ website has some and your library should have some diabetic cooking books too.

I make myself ajelly by squeezing oranges & stirring in some gelatine dissolved in hot water. You can add different fruits to that when cool too.
Sunshine Dessert Bring to boil 425 tin crushed pineapple (lite syrup). Add 1 packet diabetic lemon jelly crystals & stir to dissolve. Remove from heat & leave to partly set. Beat a 400 gram tin chilled lite evaporated milk. Beat until fluffy & thick, may take 10-15 mins. Combine the 2 mixtures & leave to set.

lythande carbs do that to mine, sugar in tiny amounts doesn't. So I have to watch rice, pasta, bread, potatoes etc.But everyone is different, what works for me may not for someone else.

I suggest a cheese plate instead - without crackers or grapes! Maybe some 85% dark chocolate too.

roseann48 that looks wonderful.Just what I want.The "do" has a few elderly people and I know I have a couple of diabetics who always seem happy enough with the fact that I provide them with fruit / berries etc.I just wanted to do something fabulous for them.Thanks for all other comments.Much appreciated.Love this site!

My mum used to make a diabetic trifle just substitute jam for diabetic jam, use sugar free fruit,make custard with trim milk and sucaryl and jelly use diabetic jelly.

I was going to suggest the cheese plate idea, but Dazz beat me to it - I hadn't considered the uber-dark choc on the plate, though.I do use crackers, but currently using the newer rice crackers, like Vita-Weat multigrain.There is only so much you can recommend, because as lythande1 and cgvl illustrated, one diabetic can tolerate what another can't.

You are welcome macwood2. When set it is a cheesecake texture & eaily eaten but young & old.
I use rounds of cucumber with cheese sometimes or just eat it straight.

My favourite entree or after dinner snack is a plate full of cucumber slices topped with cream cheese and smoked salmon and a bit of fresh dill on top :)
