I was tempted to buy the Davina McCall Sugar Free cookbook but after reading reviews on it, it is not suitable for diabetics as a lot of the sugar in her recipes are replaced with honey etc so I am looking for some good sugar free recipes please if anyone can recommend any? thanks

It's not the sugar but the carbs you need to watch.
Any recipe can be sugar free by using artificial sweeteners but still loaded with carbs from other ingredients which will increase your blood sugars.
 
Thanks. I'm trying to find a nice recipe for cakes, biscuits etc that won't raise my levels as much as say eating ordinary cake or chocolate (which I only have as an occasional weekend treat).
