[QUOTE="HawkTenRose, post: 2569990, member: 565608"] For context, I work in a care home kitchen, I am Type 1, and some of our residents have T2 Diabetes that are diet and medication controlled. As a T1, I am the go-to person on "can we feed this to our T2 diabetics?" I do a good job of it, generally speaking. However, I've recently run into a slight roadblock and I'm hoping to get your opinions/advice. Situation: My kitchen manager has been making diabetic-friendly cakes. The issue is the T2 Diabetic residents are now requesting a broader variety of flavours, she's come to me for ideas, and I'm a bit unsure where to go from here. As someone who's immune system has unalived my insulin producing cells, I can eat whatever I want provided I use the correct insulin for it. I'm now struggling to find other options for flavourings. I've already thought of berries (blueberry or raspberry most likely, as I've never seen blackberry cake and they have strawberry jelly (sugar free) and strawberry "ice cream" (its strawberries and unsweetened Greek yogurt blended and then frozen. About 5-6grams carbs for two scoops of "ice cream" ) and lemon/almond/orange extract. Anyone got any other ideas for cake flavourings? I'd appreciate any advice, please and thank you. [/QUOTE]
