[QUOTE="Angelmum21, post: 641440, member: 120232"] Hi, Yes I am Type 2 diabetic. I was diagnosed in October last with a reading of 32 on my GP's meter and then subsequently told I have hypothyroidism which may have led to the diabetes in the first place. So I had a long way to go to get sorted. I virtually gave up every carb at first and took high dose of metformin ( 2000mg per day) but at 3 months my HbA1C was 5.9 and at 6 months it was 5.6. I have been a very good girl however to stop me giving in to the inevitable occasional craving for cake etc I wanted to find how to make them without flour and without sugar ( I also have been working on the premise that gluten is not good for either condition). Sarah's book shows how you can use almond meal and vegetables instead and I have made her brownies with peanut butter and have used rice malt syrup in that and the two hour test after my meal was 5.5 so as far as I can see it did what she said and did not cause a spike in sugar. I also used the syrup to make coconut ice with real fruit and nut butter and desiccated coconut and again I indulged in a few pieces and it made no difference to my readings. I love her paleo bread as well and freeze it so I can use it all up. I have not tried her choc mud yet but take your word that it is divine. I honestly can say that the syrup does not have any bitter after taste. I hope you get same results when you try it but do test to see what is happening with your system as we are all individuals and what is right for some may not be right for others. X [/QUOTE]
