Other Great Resources
Trim Healthy Mamas: I really like their super sweet sugar substitute because I find that some fake sugars raise my blood sugar, but since I only need a small amount of this in my baking, it doesn’t raise my blood sugar at all. It also lasts a long time. They also sell a flour mix that has a lot of fiber and 1 net carb per serving. It has a better texture than almond flour and is good when substituting flour in a normal high carb recipe.
Swerve: I love their confectioners sugar. It is a really great sugar substitute that does not raise my blood sugar and bakes almost exactly the same as normal sugar. And unlike most fake sugars, there is no aftertaste. Although it does not last as long making it more expensive, I love this brand of sugar. They also sell cake, cookies, and pancakes & waffle box mixes that you can easily find online.
Almond flour: I use almond flour in most of my recipes because it has a great taste and works very well in crusts. Make sure when you are buying it that it is very finely ground, otherwise it could make the food grainy.
Bright Spots and Landmines by Adam Brown (T1D book): This book has a lot of good information about diabetes and has helped me to better control my blood sugar.
