 Remember that it is the total carbohydrate in a food that counts. All


 carbohydrates -- starches and sugars -- are eventually changed into blood


 glucose. Diabetics can eat sugar as long as it is counted as part of the


 total carbohydrate intake for the day. The goal though is to eat


 healthfully and to not waste your carbohydrates on foods that do not offer


 much in the way of nutrition (like most high sugar foods). The key with


 sugar is moderation! Also, remember that sugar free does not mean


 carbohydrate free. If you do consume foods with artificial sweeteners, be


 sure to check the total carbohydrate count in the food. Do not assume that


 it is a good food to eat just because it is sugar free. All of the recipes


 that we post on this site try to be low-fat, high-fiber and nutritious.


 Because of possible health risks, you will not see recipes with artificial


 sweeteners here. We post dessert recipes that, while they may contain some


 source of sugar (honey, sugar, fruit juice etc.), ! ! ! are relatively low


 in sugar for a dessert recipe. Again, use common sense and moderation when


 figuring any food with sugar into your diet.
