Please Help Me

[Mike]

Ok guys this was started in another post so I thought I would make a seperate one since I hope to get a good response and diabetes (type 2) being as common as it is, I thought this would be a great thread.

So - here's the deal - someone VERY close to me is a diabetic (type 2) and I am looking for recipes - good food that he can eat without having to worry bout sugar content - obviously the hardest recipes to track down would be the sweet stuff like cookies etc etc - desserts

Also if anyone has cooking experience with Splenda and knows how to use it in some things that would be VERY good.

Alright guys - thanks a lot - I appreciate any responses.
