The Symply Too Good recipe books are also great and they are approved by Diabetes NZ and Aus ... all low fat recipes, low sodium etc. Type 2's have a bit of flexibility with recipes, but I have a daughter with Type 1 and we have to account for everything she eats and the Symply books list all the nutritional info which makes it easier. There is lots of baking recipes in those books, if anyone is looking for something particular let me know.

thanks for this thread was very helpful, my dad is diabetic and i've wanted to make him a diabetic-friendly cake (as oppose to my normal sugar-death inducing cakes where he can only eat a teeny tiny slice! ) and trying to buy a diabetic cake in auckland is very hard, at one cake store in new market the lady actually laughed at me when i asked if she made cakes for diabetics. :/
