Has anyone got a fail-safe recipe for this? My Diabetic husband would like some.

What's the difference between using sugar and using honey? I use honey in my winter lemon drinks but no sugar. I add ginger as well.

Yip, as is maple sugar, coconut sugar and all the other 'natural' sugars we are being told (falsely) are good for us.
Have you tried using dextrose - it is effectively sugar without the fructose (which is the real baddie)and is about a third as sweet as sugar. As long as he doesn't have a tablespoon on his toast would be okay I would think? My mum has had type 1 diabetes since she was 9 (she is now 77) and she would eat this, sparingly.
Edit to say I have just googled and found this - the curd would be great and uses stevia. Hope it all helps!
Thnx very much - sounds great and will try it out soon! Cheers, Pat.

Fructose and dextrose are two different types of sugar. For example, fruit contains fructose, while milk supplies lactose, maltose can be found in beer and malt whiskey, and fruits and plant saps are sources of dextrose.
Dextrose or glucose, the type of sugar used to measure blood sugar levels, is a primary source of energy for almost all cells of the body, including brain cells. The body manufactures it from carbohydrates like fruit, cereal, bread, pasta and rice.
Fructose, the sugar that gives fruit its sweet flavor, is also present in vegetables and honey. Fructose and glucose have a lot in common. Fructose, however, does not cause insulin secretions, as glucose(dextrose) does.
