Hi Myrna,

The picture of pecan pie is making me drool!

Hi Keith,

Welcome to my recipes forum. I feel bad that you can't have pecan pie :(  There is diabetes in my family and I have a couple friends who have it too, so I can sympathize. I have to be careful not to eat too many sweets either, since there is diabetes in my family history.

If I come across a recipe for diabetics I will post it.

Have a nice Christmas.

Hi Shirley,

Yes, pecan pie seems to be a favorite for many of us, sigh! Why is it that sweets taste so good, making them difficult to resist?

Hi Donna,

Diabetes is a horrible decease.  I do know they are putting corn syrup in everything now.
I think, the way I understand it is that corn sryrup is a big culput to diabetes. 
Just wanted to put a plug in for Stevia, which is a sweetner, with no sid effects, that is really good for you.  I grew some the other summer, It is wonderful.  You can buy it in health food stores.  It does have an aftertaste, but I have been told, it is becasue of the way it is processed that makes that taste.  I know what I grew was wonderful, just tasted like sugar and no calories.

Our government has kept it hidden for a long time.  Why, becasue it is good for you and will not make you sick, like they want you to think.

Gee sorry I am ranting.

This is the stevia plant
