People used to think that being diagnosed with diabetes meant they would have to cut all their favorite foods out of their life. There would be no more cakes, chocolate, sumptuous desserts, ice creams or cookies. Doctors now understand the disease much better and there has been a lot of diabetes research done. Diabetic patients are now able to enjoy desserts made with a very small amount of sugar. There are many diabetic cookbooks available these days, containing many dessert recipes which contain either a small amount of sugar or a sugar substitute. Diabetic patients can enjoy making and eating these dishes without feeling guilty about ignoring their doctor's advice or taking the risk of making their disease worse.
Just about everybody loves cookies, so why should a diabetic miss out on such good eating? You can make diabetic cookies with a small amount of sugar, brown sugar or a sugar substitute. There are plenty of websites with diabetic-friendly cookie recipes, as well as many cookbooks. Examples of what you can make include rice krispie cookies, high fiber cookies, peanut cookies, soft cookies, marshmallow cookies, sugar-free cookies, almond cookies and there are literally hundreds of other kinds too. With a bit of imagination, you can alter them to your match your personal tastes exactly and have fun experimenting with spices and flavors.
Nearly all the diabetic cookie recipes you will find on the internet are completely free. Expert dieticians who understand diabetes well have put these recipes together to make them healthy, delicious and diabetes-friendly. The recipes tell you how many calories there are per cookie and how much sugar. Many of the recipes are high in fiber as well as being low in sugar. People who have tasted such cookies will gladly confirm that there is no compromise on taste. They do not taste much different to traditional cookies which are usually very high in both sugar and calories.
Doctors treating diabetic patients do not recommend cutting sugar completely out of your diet any more. Rather, they advise that a controlled diet plan is followed and low sugar or sugar-free desserts should be eaten in small quantities. If you need to stick to your diet but have a sweet tooth and fancy something delicious, these special recipes are ideal to satisfy your craving without ruining your special diet and guarantee to contain only the permissible levels of sugar allowed or less.
