Sugar free desserts/candy for Diabetics
My dad recently discovered he had Diabetes, but he loves candy. Are there any sugar free candy or sugar free desserts out there?
Thanks! :)

I thought I would tell you some relief out of this. My dad was diagnosed with Diabetes a few years ago. He went through classes, and read articles about what's friendly and what's not.
Sugar, in moderation, will not worsen his diabetes. Sugar in high amounts can. There are a variety of candies in stories that state "sugar free."
Also, watch out for your carbs. Carbs are complex sugars, meaning they'll keep his glucose level up longer than sugar. My dad had to limit a meal no more than 25 carbs. It was an easy task for him after awhile. Candies can be sugar free, but can still contain carbs. Check the label before buying.
He followed the simple rules of watching his carb and sugar consumption and exercising.
Today, his diabetes is in remission.
Also, I know a lot of nice restaurants serve sugar-free dessert such as cheesecake, and brownies.
Splenda is a great substitute for sugar. It's sweeter, so you use less. Just don't over-do it on Splenda. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
I hope I helped and good luck.
