"Most of the recipes in "150 Best Diabetes Desserts" are for treats you probably had before you were diagnosed with diabetes. And in that way, these recipes aren't exotic, wild or weird. They call for ingredients health-conscious cooks probably have on hand -- things like wheat germ, unbleached flour and flaxseeds -- and granulated brown sugar. Oh, my!... It's a good time to be a diabetic if you can follow a recipe."
