Diabetics not only have to watch their sugars but they also have to watch their carbohydrates. With that said angle food cake and pound cake are a good choice for a diabetic. We like it with strawberries or raspberries. You can even top it with lite cool whip.

You can also substitute the oil with applesauce to cut down on the fats. I think you can also substitute it for the shortening but you have to lessen some of the liquids. It may change the texture a bit though.

I came across a recipe on the Weight Watchers web site that sounds good. It's for Pumpkin Angel food cake.

1 box Angel food cake
1 15oz can of pumpkin
3/4 c water
1 T. vanilla
1 T. cinnamon

Mix all ingredients and bake at 350 for 35-40mins.

It only has 2 Weight Watchers points per slice. It sounds really good, I'm going to make it this weekend.
