Title: Help! Diabetic demo recipes needed
Post by: Rogizoja on January 19, 2010, 09:27:42 pm

HELP! I've got a diabetic coming for a demo on Saturday and am looking for some suggestions for recipes that I could use to show TMX's versatility.  Preferably they should be quick, and tasty for non-diabetics as well. All suggestions gratefully received (and digested, I hope!)

Hi Rogizoja

Need to know if this person has Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. If Type 1, a demo held around meal times is probably a little easier. If they are carbo counting then they probably only need to know what you are intending to serve and they will be able to work out their insulin needs to cover the carbohydrate in any of the recipes.  I convert all the recipes I find here and calculate the grams of carbohydrate per serve so I can eat them to.
Type 2 diabetics are either diet or diet/tablet controlled. Best talk to the person and discuss your options.
