| 820.1 | sugar twin | VIDEO::TEBAY | Natural phenomena invented to order | Mon Nov 23 1987 16:01 | 8 | 
|  |     I found that the sugar twin replacement works well instead of
    sugar. The package has information for diabetics on the back of
    it.
    I also find that most of the time sugar can be cut by 1/3 
    with out altering the receipe.
    There are also some great diabetic cookbooks-check out the
    keywords.

| 820.2 | Diatetic spice cake. | CSC32::R_GROVER | The CIRCUIT_MAN | Wed Jan 09 1991 08:19 | 38 | 
|  |     Here is a recipe I used when my in-laws were out last week. They are
    both diabetic + high blood pressure +++++.
    INGREDIENTS:
    2 c		All Purpose Flour
    1/4 c	Sugar OR (4 packets "TWIN")
    1 tbls	Baking Powder
    2 tsp	Cinnamon
    1 tsp	nutmeg
    1/2 tsp	ginger
    1/2		clove
    1/4 tsp	Salt (can be omitted)
    1 tsp	vanilla extract
    2		Eggs OR (3 Egg Whites) OR (1/3 c "Egg Beaters")
    1/4 c	Vegetable Oil (no Cholesterol)
    1 1/4 c	1% milk
    Directions:
    Grease (with "PAM") and flour an 8x8 pan. Set oven to 375F. 
    Combine all ingredients into a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
    Pour mixture into pan. Bake on middle rack for 30 minutes.
    
    NOTE: The oven temp and cooking time are for "HIGH ALTITUDE" so you
    	  may want to adjust for "Sea Level". Also, you may want to use
    	  less baking powder and slightly more milk.
    
    This REALLY tastes rather good, even with the diatetic ingredients.
    It is also a home creation, so you won't find it in any cook book.
    If there are any comments, please share them, cause I am always trying
    to adjust this to taste just a little better.
    
    Eat and enjoy..!

| 820.3 | High altitude baking | AIMHI::JUTRAS |  | Tue Jan 22 1991 16:56 | 6 | 
|  |     Are you sure you mean "use less baking powder and slightly more milk"
    According to the high altitude cooking hints in #2016 it should be the
    opposite.  They say to increase liquids and decrease baking powder for
    cooking at high altitudes.  You mentioned that you recipe was adjusted
    for high altitudes however you said to change it to "sea level , You
    may want to use less baking powder and slightly more milk."

|  |     Does anyone have a recipe for a birthday cake suitable for a diabetic?
    My wife has offered to make the cake for a recently diagnosed three
    year olds birthday.  Any suggestions?
    
    Thanks,

|  | Any major city near you should have a phone number for the American Diabetes
Assoc (I think that's the name)...they may also have an 800 number.  Also,
I would get to the library for a cookbook for diabetics.  A local hospital
dietician can also refer you to resources in your area for cookbooks/recipes,
etc.
The child's pediatrician is also a possible resource for information.
