Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Low Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookies that are good!

I think I finally found a Low Sugar Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that is good and not many gram of sugar. It has 3 grams in one cookie and that's lower than stoe bought cookies.

It only has 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup Sweetener and made 36 cookies so that a good amount. . I used Splenda for the substitute sugar.
It also has some vanilla and semi sweet chocolate chips but not too many.
I made a batch and they are actually delicious so I'm making more so I can give some to my neighbor who is diabetic too.

Let me know if you want the recipe.

Sounds good but who can eat one or two cookies. I would eat the whole batch in one day,

Well I guess we have to limit our intake, but I know what you mean. I'm bad with chips or peanuts, but I only put some many out to eat and hope I don't go back.......lol.
Christmas time is the hardest. The first Christmas I was diagnosed, it was tough seeing other people eat all the goodies, but I soon discovered that by decreasing my sugar intake, I lost some weight, so that was a good thing.
Hope everyone is good this Christmas and don't eat too many sweet things.
Oh, I found some Diet Punch by Ocean Spray with is sweetened with Splenda instead of the aspertane (spg). It has 2 g of sugar per 8 oz or 250 ml. so that is good. It comes in 2 or 3 flavours and I have just tried the Ruby Pomegranate.

This is my first Christmas with the diagnosis as it was only about 6 weeks ago that I was diagnosed. I've been pretty good. I've slipped a couple of times but limited the amount I ate and have incorporated exercise when I do. We had our big Christmas pot luck at work today and I chose to have one cookie and used portion control for the items on my plate. I took one plate and then left the buffet area so I wouldn't be tempted to go back. It is hard seeing everyone else indulging, especially when you know some of them are diabetic too.

So far, I'm able to control it with diet and exercise and want to keep it that way. A drink that I've found and really like is the singles of Hawaian Punch sugar free Kool-aid type drink. I have one or two of those a day and I always drink plenty of water. Your cookie recipe sounds good but I couldn't do that at my house at this point. I've been able to bake the prepackaged cookies because there are only so many and I am immediately taking them elsewhere. They don't have a "home" at my house. :-)
