WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

TRIPLE LAYER LEMON PIE

 2 pkg (3.4-oz each) instant sugar-free lemon-flavored pudding mix
2 cups cold reduced-fat milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 (6-oz) ready-to-use graham cracker pie crust*
1 carton (8-oz) sugar-free frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
Beat pudding mix, milk, and lemon juice together with a whisk for 2 minutes. Mixture should be thick. Spread 1 1/2 cups over the bottom of the crust.
Whisk half the whipped topping into the remaining pudding mixture and spread over the layer already in the pie crust.
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the second layer.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours before cutting to serve.
*Only you know what your blood sugar can take. If you cannot use a ready-to-use graham cracker crust, make a regular, sugar-free crust or make your own crumb crust using sugar-free shortbread cookies, crushed, with some melted butter to form a crumb crust.

Note: It is best for diabetics to make desserts when they can share with others. Only 1 serving for the diabetic!
