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.

FAKE OR SUGAR-FREE POWDERED SUGAR

Diabetics often come across recipes calling for powdered sugar. You can make your own substitute for powdered sugar that works very well in recipes.  Since I first started making my own, Swerve has come out with a good product. Since I use it so seldom, I still prefer to just make my own.

3/4 cup of Splenda Granular
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Place both ingredients in a blender and blend until it is a very fine powder. Use as you would powdered sugar.

0 grams of sugar and only 4 carbs per tablespoon.

SPLENDA POWDERED SUGAR

Have posted this before but posting again for those who may have missed it.

*To make "sugar-free" powdered sugar: using a ratio of 3/4 cup Splenda granular to 2 tbsp cornstarch, place in a blender container and blend until mixture has the look and feel of powdered sugar. Use as you would powdered or confectioners' sugar. May be kept in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
