    Tea, milk - no sugar.

    Assuming you are eating, salads and fruit are good, but ask your friend.

    A very good friend of mine was diabetic (who sadly passed away last year), and these were his favourite cake to have with tea. My best memories of him are the times I made them when I was visiting and he would lash into them with such gusto. :)

    The don't contain added sugar so are kinder to blood sugar, and taste really like normal fruit cake. They keep well in a tin and are nice for both diabetic and non.

    Also, have some splenda to hand if you want to give them the choice of sweetner for their beverage. Sugarless jams and jellies are readily available also. Might be nice to make sugarless scones to have them with!

    (Mods this may help more people in cooking and recipes?)
