Barbara has just reminded me that due to the high sugar content of the cake, John will not be able to partake of it due to his Diabetes :Sad:
Sorry John, but she's just looking out for you :Smile:

Barbara makes me some VERY nice diabetic cakes - they tend to be low on fat, rather than sugar - Barbara says we will be OK as long as the rest of our diets are balanced :thumb:

My Diabetic Nurse told me, a little of what you fancy does you more good than doing without.
According to her, Its not so much What you eat, but how much of it you eat.
