I love the colors of this, plus I can almost FEEL the scales!
LINDA’S CRAFTINESS –
I found a plain, but cute, denim purse. To me, it cried out for some daisies and 3-D gold accents. This is painted on the back, as well. Nice size – 10″x 6″, and can be carried as a shoulder purse, too. One of a kind. $24.99 – FREE SHIPPING. You can find this, and other painted purses, HERE – at HandmadeHavenbyLinda on Etsy.

NEW FIND FOR MY HUSBAND – I’ve told you that he has Type II Diabetes, though he’ll deny that, calling it ‘a sugar problem.’ I’ve been looking for substitutes for the sugary things he likes, trying to help him cut out as much sugar as possible. Recently I found a muffin that he MAY switch to, rather than insisting on eating an apple fritter in the mornings. The fritter has 22g of sugar per fritter. That’s awful, but he’s hard-headed. I found Marketside No Added Sugar Blueberry Streusel Muffins. Each muffin has 2g. Yes! Just 2. A no-brainer. He said they were good! Hopefully, he will make this change. Fingers crossed.

I hope that today is the start of a really nice month for us.

Excellent about those muffins! We’ll have to give those a try!

He cut them in half, put some butter on them, and microwaved them just for a few seconds. He was very happy with them. I tasted one, and it was delicious, if not for the carbs – for ME, too. Hope you like them.

We are trying to cut carbs too. Mostly we just do one meal without carbs to make up for having some with breakfast. But I really want a glucose monitor to see if I am doing things correctly.
I would eat these the same way as you described.

I don’t how low you’re trying to go in your carbs. You might be able to cut one in half and each have half for breakfast. We have a blood sugar monitor, but not a glucose monitor. One muffin is 43 carbs. My husband only has to watch his sugar, so he can afford the carbs.

We don’t have a plan either. Our integrative physician just told us to cut down our carbs. Nice, huh?
Great to know one muffin is 43 carbs. I bought some at Walmart today, so we will do half a one each for breakfast tomorrow. Hehe! Thank you!

Hi Linda! I have done some baking for a friend’s husband who is a type one diabetic. I used a sugar substitute called Zylatol, he assumed I was using regular sugar, and he did not notice the difference. I don’t know if you can get this product in the U.S., but it could be worth a try if you can get it.

Thanks so much for the information! I’ll look for it and try it the next time I’m trying to bake something that satisfies his sweet tooth.
