Sugar free jello became one of my husband's favorites when his blood sugar was at levels higher than his Dr. liked. We also went to a nutritionist (which our insurance paid for) and have learned to read labels. Portion control is important.
I used to buy sugar free cookies for my Dad, who was diabetic. Now that I'm reading labels, I find out that they have MORE carbs than some regular cookies. Who knew?
It's a whole new adventure, but you'll get used to it.
Wishing you and your husband the best.
Sue
