Hey everyone, my dad really wants to eat his favourite meal of moussaka. Is there a really good version for diabetics? Thanks

I just leave out potatoes and increase the aubergine layers instead. Cheese and egg and yoghurt as the topping rather than a white sauce made with flour. Yummy

There’s no reason for a diabetic not to eat the full fat version of moussaka - as long as you count the carbs and take the insulin, you can eat whatever you want. - a decent portion of moussaka is about 40g carbs
Enjoy every single gram

OPs dad is diet controlled so not on insulin therefore has to be careful with carbs
