Howdy;
Does anyone have a real good recipe for Rice Pudding for diabetics?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

The second one sounds pretty good, but the first one is IMHO ridiculous for
a "diabetic" recipe. It is loaded with sugar and other carbs, and all
they've done is replace real fats with fake junk.

The first one is not something I would feed my diabetic DH. The second
one is half the carbs, but he doesn't care much for chocolate. Rice
always spikes him. Even brown rice.

BTW, I must be doing a good job. DH, diabetic for about 30 years and on
an insulin pump, saw his endocrinologist the other day and his
hemoglobin A1C was 6.2!!! This is just plain awesome!

I don't know many diabetics who do well with rice.

I do but it has to be white rice and it has to be in very limited portions.
Mostly it is something I eat only when I am very sick. I realize I am not
the typical diabetic. The gastroparesis means I can not eat much fiber.
But no way would I eat rice pudding no matter the recipe.

This is the ADA recipe. I would never eat this.

cup Equal® SpoonfulT
3 egg yolks
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup raisins
Ground cinnamon
Ground nutmeg

Heat water and cinnamon stick to boiling in large saucepan; stir in rice.
Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and water absorbed, 20
to
25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick.

Add milk and salt; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until
mixture starts to thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

Don't you just love the ADA? 43 grams of carbs in one serving of
dessert! They are more concerned with fat than they are woth
carbohydrates. Someone should give them a class in diabetes management.

We belong and subscribe because there is other good information in their
magazine and they do fund research, but I've written to them over and
over about their lack of responsibility to diabetics when they publish
those terribly unhealthy recipes. They never respond.

With the exchanges such as they are, that is pretty much a meal in and of
itself. Maybe that and a salad with a wee bit of meat on it and you'd have
a full meal. For a meal, I'd sure want something more substantial than
pudding!

Amazing. I try to keep carbs to arouind 15 grams per meal, per the
dietician, although it's very hard to do. The ADA has some appalling
recipes.
