Boy, do I wish there was a cannoli for a diabetic...I'm a Type 2. That's a
tough treat to make diabetic-friendly. The Food Network has a recipe for
"Low Carb Cannoli Parfaits" that might work, although it's pretty high in
fat: http://tinyurl.com/dfzqy

I haven't made this recipe, so I can't vouch for it. If I ever did make it,
however, I'd try to lighten the fat content by using fat-free half and half
in place of the cream and part-skim ricotta instead of whole-milk. That
would increase the carbs a little, but it would still be doable for me.
