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.

HOMEMADE BOYSENBERRY SYRUP

1/2 cup Splenda granular
1/2 cup water
1 bag (12-oz)frozen no-sugar-added boysenberries, partially thawed
2 tsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water

In a medium saucepan, bring Splenda and 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium heat. Add the berries and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve; pressing down with the back of a spoon to force the pulp through the sieve. Return the syrup to the pan. Mix the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth; add to the syrup and heat until mixture thickens and turn clear. Mixture will be thin but will thicken more as it cools.
