Hi first focus,

A lot of people don't realise that it's not just the sugar that's the problem for diabetics, it's carbs altogether. So many people believe that a smaller (think mini cupcake) amount of the real thing is preferable to a full-size sweetener-laden cupcake with lots of carbs.

However if you're looking for a tried and tested recipe, this gets good reviews :

It shouldn't be too hard. I am fairly sure that all of these ingredients can be got in major supermarkets. If you cant get almond flour in a supermarket, you can definitely get it in health food shops.

2 cups almond flour
1 cup Splenda sugar substitute
6 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs, separated
2 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
