Does anybody sell diabetic-freindly ice cream and cakes?

[Deja Q]

Or am I really up the river without a paddle?

1. um...

I don't know...there's "Frookie" brand cookies though. Made with fruit sugar.

Cakes I'm thinking no. Ice cream I think I remember seeing and I know who to ask.

2. Try coconut milk ice cream.

It's sweetened with agave nectar which has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar. Whole Paycheck carries Purely Decadent brand.

Edit - it's actually very creamy and tasty. It satisfies my ice cream jones.

3. Or the brand that started this kick...

Coconut Bliss. Either one will do, and they are teh AWESOME.

4. Blue Bunny makes some diabetic friendly ice cream

My mother's a diabetic, and she gets their Sweet Freedom ice cream cones. They have sugar free ice cream too.

I thought the Blue Bunny products were diabetic-friendly.

6. you gotta watch carbs as well as sugar

For me, it's the carbs that are dangerous. But I can eat about 1/4 cup of Haagen Daas coffee ice cream very occasionally without a lot of trouble if I've watched the rest of the day's food intake. And I take one-bite tastes of various sweet things without trouble.

Dr. Sinatra, the diabetes expert, says to watch out for sweeteners that end in "ose" -- he says those will affect blood sugar. He talks about certain sugar-free Jell-O puddings that are okay, with no "ose" ingredients.
