I'm diabetic too Rosemary but not brittle. I eat whatever I want but try
to stay below 30 grams of carbs a day. At that rate I keep a fairly
normal blood glucose and lose weight to boot. Mostly I eat protein but
occasionally, like tomorrow, I will eat some pie, lots of dressing, etc
and then go walk around the block a couple of times.
