It’s a myth that diabetics need to avoid sugar at all costs.
All carbohydrates turn to sugar in your blood stream, so rather than avoid sugar completely, you need to manage the intake as part of your daily diabetic diet. For example, if you really MUST have a dessert, take the salad option for your main course.
Anyway, for those days when you need to remember what chocolate brownies taste like, here is a tasty diabetic chocolate brownie recipe:. Diabetic Chocolate Brownies Recipe
