Who said that those suffering from diabetes
couldn’t enjoy puddings and cakes? Well, they too can, except
that they should avoid off the counter cakes and pastries and
have one of the numerous diabetic cake recipes prepared at home. These
are in fact easy to make and instead of sugar, one needs t use
to use a sugar supplement. These are generally low calorie cakes
and can be eaten by anyone who is health conscious, which also
includes heart patients, amongst others.. |
