Jerry, My Mrs. is a life-long type one diabetic, totally insulin dependent. she has to calculate the carbohydrates in every bite she eats. She doesn't eat junk, with no nutrition but sugar, at all. But she makes an occasional fruit pie or such with Splenda, which has been on the market for a few years now. Just use it instead of sugar; that simple. It costs enough more than sugar that us mere mortals aren't about to consume it by the bucketful, and I wouldn't advise any diabetic to use it as an excuse to shovel in sweets. But if you have your lady make a strawberry rhubarb pie sometime when friends will be sharing it, and have yourself a modest sized piece. Then continue taking good care of yourself on a regular basis, 'cause it does seem like some folks like having you around for some reason. : )
