You can also Google the term and find lots more. The best diets consider both glycemic index and total carbs. I agree. It gets depressing in supermarkets.

I have to agree with you on this subject. I was getting really worried
when
the dietitian that did my diabetic teaching was suggesting this stuff.
When
I asked my diabetic Dr, he said that there were better ways and proceeded
to
instruct me in low glycemic- low carb diet. He said he didn’t agree with
the
dietitians and was glad that I was suspicious.

The recipe only calls for a couple teaspoons of sugar--not that much. If I made this I'd replace that with Splenda. As for the raisins, again not that much is called for but I'd delete it anyway since I hate raisins. :o) Common sense is what anyone should use with any recipe. As for the dietician--I have never spoken with one. I DID see a nutritionist and felt she offered invaluable information. I worked for several years in hospitals and nursing homes and learned one thing about dieticians--I don't like them. They tend to be superior and quite often wrong as evidenced here. I highly recommend any diabetic speak with a nutritionist at the very least, compare to what your doctor says then use good old common sense. Jayne I have to take issue with some of this.
