Sugar Free Recipes and Advice

Dry milk does not have the lactose removed, it is dehydrated milk. It is added to recipes for many reasons: cost, convenience, added protein, taste, when the extra liquid is not wanted etc. It does not have any added benefits specifically for diabetics. Sugar is not necessarily bad for diabetics, it depends on the type of sugar and the amount eaten. Normal cane sugar has a medium G.I. (Gycemic Index) rating. Sugar-free recipes assist in weight reduction programs by reducing the calories. Diabetics should avoid high fat and highly processed foods and choose healthier options such as low-fat meat and dairy products, whole-grain foods and fresh, low G.I.fruit and vegetables.

In Australia people diagnosed with diabetes are encouraged to see a diabetes educator who will explain how to best manage your condition.

Regular milk has a sugar in it called lactose. It does have side effects for a diabetic, whereas, the milk you mentioned does not contain lactose.

I'm starting a diet (again), I need to make it work this time, where so many times before it failed.
