    I'm recently diagnosed type II. While I always knew I needed to cut down on sugar, now I have no choice and I'm really serious about it. But I would like to enjoy dessert occasionally with my husband and not blow everything. If you have a great recipe that will fit into a diabetic lifestyle will you please share? Thanks in advance.

    What does your doctor say about your total carbs? When I want a dessert, I cut down on other carbs for the day so I have enough left over to spend on that slice of cake or whatever.

    Having said that, I LOVE 1/2 c. 0% fat Greek yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, and 100 g. fresh unsweetened strawberries as a dessert. It is like a chocolate mousse with berries and very yummy! 20 g carbs and 42 g protein.

    My dietician told me to stick with 30g per meal and 15g for a snack. And to space them out in the day like that. So I try to stick with that and not save them.

    Try blending frozen berries, bananas and a splash of orange juice. Makes a nice dessert. :smile:

    If you like mousse you can use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and whip it until fluffy. Add unsweetened cocoa powder for chocolate, vanilla extract (or any) for a different flavor. If you need it a little sweeter use Agave Nectar

    Hi - I know it sounds silly but by using coconut milk - does it not give the flavour of coconut in things you use it in?

    I recently found these ice cream bars. I've only had the fudge but they are very tasty with a good amount of protein and fiber. They are sweetened with ethrytol (stevia). I've recently had gastric bypass and not had any issues with the sweetener though some do.
