I’m curious about this recipe too. How is this diabetes cake different than just… cake? Have you adjust the recipe at all to make it diabetes friendly? Wheat grain and sugar are easy ingredients to swap out for ingredients that dont cause dangerous spikes in blood sugar. Things like almond flour, stevia, erythritol are available even at walmart these days. A T2 diabetic can eat cakes made from these without spiking and a T1 diabetic can use much much smaller doses of insulin, making their bolusing so much safer and their blood sugars stable.
Hi Ryan, in our practice we don’t prescriber diets for control, that is a tool. We can use less insulin with timing, exercise and other tools as well. We can manage safely effectively and maintain wellness and not have to make a half dozen swap outs. Our recipes offer carb counts, and additional info that can be helpful in management.
