Sweet-Toothed, Diabetic Father-in-law coming for Christmas. Need recipes.?

My diabetic Father-in-law will be coming for Christmas + two weeks.

He has an awful sweet-tooth, and with all of the Christmas baking I do for my own family of 5, I need some ideas of desserts and other tempting appetizers that will help me keep him out of harm's way.

He has a habit of sneaking into the sweets when he thinks he isn't being watched. So I need some really deceptive dishes - dishes he thinks he shouldn't be eating.

That way I can have a secret stash of the "good stuff" for the rest of us.

Anyone have any wonderful, sugar-free recipes?

Thanks in advance!

    Not exactly recipes but I have used a couple of tricks with diabetics!

    Baked bananas are DELICIOUS! It sounds like a bore but it's so easy. After you have baked or roasted something in the oven, just put a few bananas in there and turn it off. Leve the bananas for about 30 minutes until they are completely black. When you open them up, split them open and add some "cream" (natural yoghurt with equal or some other sugar substitute added).

    It tastes as if there is alcohol in the bananas and that yoghurt tastes very much like cream. I fed it to my grandmother who loves to drink, hates yoghurt and is diabetic! She loved it.

    Good luck with hiding the good stuff!

    With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/ZPtKr

    As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

    Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
