Great topic! Very interesting reading the comments on this!

There are plenty of recipes on Diabetes Australia – Victoria. To eat healthy as a person with diabetes means to eat generally healthy. low in fats, salt and sugar like we should all be eating. So you can use other healthy websites and books as well.

Thanks for asking this question; following answers.

I would try some cooking books from the library that specialise in diabetic friendly meals.

The Symply Too Good recipe books are really awesome for diabetic friendly main meals & treats.

You can find more diabetic-friendly recipe at diabeticlivingonline.com

goodluck in finding what your need

When my mum was diagnosed the nurse told her to attend a few classes that were held by nurses. They handed out some meal plans so maybe ask the nurses at your local medical centre.

For an easy, nutritious and tasty snack, try this dip, with vegetable pieces.

Fruit kebabs are also nice as a sweet treat, and you can serve them with some pureed berries for dipping.

My dad has type 2. My mum will have a few treat and dinner ideas. Give Me a day and i will post you some ideas. Also. Cinnamon is great for diabetics. It helps the body regulate it self. Will try get more ideas for you.

Are you looking for desserts specifically? for diabetes, you really want low GI so I’ll choose the carbs wisely. Not just about added sugar. As long as you are aiming for wholegrains with plenty of good protein and fats, you are pretty much on a Low GI trail SO really look for recipes that uses ingredients like these: wholemeal, bran, wholegrain, basmati, coconut oil, etc. Avoid all dried fruits even if they have no added sugar.

has some very very nice recipes

Diabetes Australia and the CSIRO have great recipe books. You should also be able to find recipes online on their website. “Blood Sugar” by Michael Moore is also a really good book with great recipes.

I would be doing some research on google to find this, or the diabetic society should be able to help
