Frequently Asked Questions
Pies are often a no-no for diabetics, since a flour pie crust and a sugary filling can really spike your blood sugar.
However, as the above shortlist of recipes shows, you can get sugar-free pies which won’t cause your blood sugar to spike, and therefore may be OK for diabetics to eat.
If you want to avoid a spike in your blood sugar, be sure to avoid desserts that are made with added sugar.
The best desserts to prevent a spike in blood sugar are high-protein ones, such as peanut butter based desserts.
Here are some excellent substitutes for sugar in your baking:
Artificial sweeteners
Molasses
Maple syrup
Fruit concentrates
Honey
Coconut sugar
Unfortunately, however, these substitutes are not necessarily perfect substitutes for sugar in every recipe, so proceed with caution.
