When you are shopping for a gift for the diabetics among your friends and family, consider giving the low-carbohydrate cooking ingredients they may have trouble finding on their own. Da Vinci syrups are great for flavoring low-carb desserts. Coming in banana, caramel, cherry, chocolate, coconut, cookie dough, pancake, peanut butter, and watermelon, and over 30 other flavors, these Splenda-sweetened syrups can make even the lowest-carb dessert tasty. Dr. Robert Bernstein notes that he adds Da Vinci syrups to egg whites to make a very-low-carb "pancake." Just be sure you are ordering the sugar-free version. Da Vinci also makes sugar syrups.
Ever tried a sugar-free margarita? Water Sensations makes a sucralose-sweetened flavor concentrate sold in boxes of foil packets. Add to flavor seltzer, water, and mixed drinks.
Need to add a liqueur to your coffee? Try Cadbury's No-Cal Brand chocolate syrup. Other available flavors include black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and waffle topping.
Even the most rigorous diabetic diet can include flavorful low-carb crackers. Each 8.3 gram Brana Crisp cracker contains just 4 grams of carbohydrate. The Was Fiber Rye and G/G Scandinavian Crispbread crackers you can find in grocery markets are also very low in carbohydrate. Don't forget the low-carb cheese or spreads to go with them.
To make hearty soups and gravies, Not Starch works like cornstarch, in the manufacturer's words, "to make grain-free and carb-conscious sauces soups, gravies and more. Use ThickenThin not/Starch thickener anywhere you need thicker liquids such as salad dressings and marinades."
Diabetic diets also make room for cheese, meats, and nuts. Many diabetics enjoy the chewy texture and unique umami taste of toasted nori (seaweed, but it's delicious) available at many larger markets.
It is special gift idea for diabetic person.
