I have diabetes too. Taking the pill. But I do have a sweet from time to time. When I make this I will cut me enough for 2 deserts and give the rest to a neighbor! That way I atlest I can see if I like and it would still be cheaper then buying something at a store bakery and having to give away the extra. Asked hubby if he would try he said he thinks not. He like pies and stuff but not a real ding dong fan!
