Diabetic Friendly Recipes / Diabetes Friendly Recipes–World Diabetes Day

Diabetes is becoming a very common disease in the world today. Today is World Diabetes Day and there are many articles and advertisements and notes about Diabetes. From Wiki – “Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.^[2] This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger).”. Here are some Diabetic Friendly recipes on my blog.. Click on the image for the recipe and details..

Eggless Oats Chocolate Biscottis:

For this month's HBC, the choice was to do Biscotti.. I have baked Biscotti twice before and loved it both times.Eggless Pistachio Tutti Frutti and Orange Biscotti and Pistachio Cardamom Biscotti are the other two... This one is little different with chocolate in it and has a great deep dark chocolate flavor.. A great thing about biscotti is its crunch and its shelf life.. Love this with coffee or juice as an evening snack.. So yummy!!
