Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie Recipe for Type 1 Diabetic Child

[lockhartkitchen]

My 13 year son was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Does anyone have a good tasting sugar free pumpkin pie recipe and ideas for Thanksgiving foods?

Can't say I've tried it, but this one from the American Diabetes Association looks like it 'd be good, with the graham cracker crust.

It has about half the sugars of the http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=18470# (click on the nutritional info button for a pop-up).

I PM'd you. My husband is a Type 1 Diabetic and I'm a Type 2 Diabetic. We belong to our church's Diabetic Support Group. Yesterday when we met, we got some great hints and recipes that make Thanksgiving more manageable for diabetics. I have attachments I can send you.

My mom makes normal recipe but uses splenda instead of sugar ...she may also get a no sugar added pumpkin filling too.

Could you forward that information to me too. I was just diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes and I don't know how I am going to get through the holidays. My email is [email protected]

I had that with both kids...start charting your foods when you eat and test to see what your triggers are. I found out that while having gestational diabetes, sugar wasn't my problem, carbohydrates were. By finding those "trigger" foods, I was able to keep my sugar levels in check and enjoy a soda or candy bar!
