    Default Diabetes

    I have a pal with type 2 diabetes (no, she isn't obese; it just happened). I'm looking to make cookies; what is a viable sugar substitute for diabetics? Honey? Molasses? That liquid sweet and low stuff? Forgive me if this seems stupid.

    I have a friend who has type 2 diabetes. He avoids all sweets. I thought maybe maple syrup...but I don't think it will be any more useful to diabetics than honey. I suppose it will depend on the amount you are putting in.

    Here's a link on artificial sweeteners which are apparently fine for diabetics:

    Also keep in mind that flour also spikes blood sugar too. Any simple carb will, to varying degrees.

    If you do a search on Google there are numerous sources for diabetic-friendly sweets.

    I've heard folks have good experiences with Stevia, even though the official word from the FDA on its safety and substitute applicability is still waiting.

    Mom uses the Splenda Baking blend. (I know there have been some questions about long-term safety, but a little is much better than a possibly fatal diabetic coma.) Dad's diabetic and he does ok with this. Just remember that a diabetic still can't have more than 1 or 2. It's a lot more about calories than most people realize. Fat also causes problems. It causes any spikes in sugar to last much longer.
