When you were first diagnosed with diabetes, chances are you were sent to a class offered by your health care provider that gave you the basics of caring for yourself—from how to use a glucose monitor to figuring out a new way of eating. You may even have received a pamphlet outlining how many grams of carbohydrates per meal you should have—depending on factors such as your age, gender, activity level, and more.
When you have type 2 diabetes dessert can be a tricky thing. What everyone immediately fixates on is the sugar. But sugar is really a foil for carbs. The other component just as important in managing diabetes is fat. And what we love about dessert is usually that combo of sugar, carbs, and fat.
