These "diabetic" recipes are kind of funny. They are usually published by people (from the old days) who don't know that all carbs are counted by diabetics now...not just "sugar".

I have a classic old "sugar-free" applie pie that will blow your socks off with carbs...it's made with apple juice, Ritz crackers...and some other stuff...my dear old Aunts make if for me everytime I visit.

I usually have to take about 3 units to cover a large slice.

You must add up all carbs and divide by serving size to determine the carb count. If it contains sugar, sometimes it is a lesser carb count than all the other "stuff".

I eat Pepperidge Farm Bordeaux cookies every now and then. Only 6 carbs a cookie...and they contain sugar. And, they taste good.

But, your recipe sounds good...just not "diabetic" which really doesn't exist in cooking.
