It's a common misconception that people with diabetes can't eat dessert. No matter if you have Type 1, a chronic condition in which the body produces little to no insulin, or Type 2, a chronic condition in which the body resists the effects of insulin or doesn't produce enough, diabetics can eat anything they want, so long as they do so in moderation. This is key since carbohydrates, like starches and sugars, are the main contributor to glucose response, so it's important to be mindful about what you're consuming.
That being said, it's important to understand what diabetes really is in order to manage it properly. "Diabetes is a result of inadequate insulin and is not caused by too much sugar," says Amanda Kirpitch, nutrition and diabetes educator and owner and founder of Nutrition Perspective.
some healthy deserts that a diabetic patient can eat are:
Chocolate-Soy Panna Cotta
Lighter Chocolate Cinnamon Pudding
No-Bake Ricotta Blueberry Cheesecake
Five Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cookies
Berries with buttermilk and honey
Blueberry Ricotta Tart
Lemon cream and blackberries
Amaranth clusters
Dark Chocolate Walnut Date Bar
Big Batch Triple Chocolate Brownie Bars
peanut butter cup tart
Light cherry cheesecake
Roasted Cherries with Tofu "Panna Cotta"
Frozen yogurt pops
Chocolate Birch Bark
Remember, the key is Moderacy and Balance .
