Low Fat Dessert Recipes

There is much controversy regarding what diet to recommend to sufferers of diabetes mellitus. The diet most often recommended is high indietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, but low in fat (especially loe fat dessert recipes). However, recommendations on the fraction of total calories to be obtained from carbohydrates range from 1/6 to 75%. Patients may be encouraged to reduce their intake of carbohydrates that have a highglycemic index (GI). (In cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose quickly, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate (such as rye bread) to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia.) But others question the usefulness of the glycemic index and recommend high-GI foods like potatoes and rice.
