I'm diabetic and was told by a registered dietician that a carb is a carb, regardless if it is from sugar or not, so just be aware that even substituting artificial sweetener for the sugar doesn't necessarily mean that your Hubby's blood sugar won't go up. Keeping that in mind, I try to use bulk Splenda and substitute whole grains as much as possible in my baking. Try the Libby's pumpkin bread recipe and use whole wheat flour for half the regular flour. Banana nut bread is great made this way too. Hope this helps.
