My hubby has been diagnosed borderline diabetic & I’m at a loss what to satisfy his sweet tooth with.
I don’t want to pay silly prices for diabetic chocolate etc.
The nurse suggested these skinny bars but he will want more than that.
Any help appreciated.
Look no further than nature? Dates 
Summary
Dates may be an enjoyable and safe treat for many people with diabetes and prediabetes.
The fruit consists of a low GI, meaning it does not cause significant blood sugar spikes when people eat it in moderation. They also contain an array of important nutrients for those with diabetes, including fiber, magnesium, and potassium.
Thanks Azz.
I’m not sure if he likes dates but I’ll get him some & see.
Carol,
Tony can eat unsalted nuts e.g Walnuts, Pecans, Hazel nuts etc. or plain Popcorn, or Vegetable Batons with Humas Dip. Have plenty of Fibre and Protein.
From knowledge of friends and relatives who are diabetic. Go for natural sugars such as honey in tea or coffee is very tasty. As well pure maple syrup tea, coffee or on pancakes or french toast.
Dark chocolate has less sugars but you need to read the labels from now on for everything.
Diabetic chocolates aren’t too expensive, you’ve got to shop around but Amazon has a large choice recommended. See here:
Also, check labels of juices, orange, apple, tropical, pineapple. The best for natural sweetness, Coconut Water or Coconut Milk
Check online and in YouTube you’ll find plenty to help yourself and your hubby. Good luck!
Mags if your hubby is carrying some extra weight
losing weight if you have pre diabetes can prevent the condition from developing into full-blown diabetes.
If you’re up for doing a bit of cooking,I find Totalsweet tastes just like sugar, and not expensive It’s xylitol, so you can use it in any recipes that use that
You can use it more or less like sugar and they have some good recipes on their website
Maybe make a batch of the brownies or the biscotti look good too
Found this video on YouTube that offers a variety of meals including desserts that won’t spike blood sugars. Hoping it helps!

Cinnamon popcorn is meant to be good as a sugar-management snack - there is research on the sugar-stabilising effect of cinnamon for diabetic patients. Whilst popcorn is low-GI so good for snacking. The recipe below ingeniously sweetens using dried apple rings. The only problem I have with popcorn is that it can irritate a sensitive throat or get stuck in a tooth. I saw a thread on twitter pop up about cinnamon, garlic, fenugreek and ginger as spices that help stabilise blood sugar and this reminded me of this recipe so thought it might help.

Mags It might be best to reeducate his taste buds .
