Hi all. Does anyone have any yummy (I have a terrible sweet tooth) recipes suitable for a diabetic? Any ideas for snacks, dinners etc. I have recently been diagnosed and although I can find heaps on the internet I'd appreciate some input from people who have made and eaten the food themselves. Any ideas are extremely welcome!

Have you seen "Easy Everyday Recipes for the Whole Family" by Simon and Alison Holst? It includes some desset recipes and a lovely Christmas cake recipe which I made last year. You cut it into small piece so that you don't eat too much at once, as even 'special recipes fall into the "treats" category, rather than being everyday food.
I got the book out of the local library.
The diabetes society also put out a recipe book which I cant' remember the name of.
There is a longer thread about this somewhere - unless it's fallen off the edge.

Raspberry and Yoghurt Whip
2 t sugar-free raspberry jelly crystals (1/2 a packet) 1/2 c boiling water 1 c thick natural unsweetened yoghurt 1/2 raspberries - fresh or frozen extra youghurt - for topping
in a small bown, mix together the jelly crystals and boiling water, stirring until the crystals have dissolved. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes, until the jell is just starting to set. place the yoghurt in a bowl. add the jell mixture and beat with an electric beater for 2 - 3 minutes, until foamy, (it will still be liquid, but full of bubbles). divide the raspberries between four parfait dishes. pour over the jell mixture and refrigerate until set - about an hour. serve with dollop of extra yoghurt on top.
