   Hi Dave,   
      
      
    BC>       Title: Nabisco Snack Well's Banana Snack Bars   
    BC>       1 c  Sugar; +5 tb   
    BC>       2 tb Brown sugar   
    BC>       2 tb Molasses   
      
    SD> Speaking as a diabetic, that is a lot of sugar...   
      
    RH> Sub out Stevia for Baking for the cup of white sugar. It measures the   
    RH> same as sugar but has a slight bitter taste if you use it for the full   
    RH> amount of sugar. Keeping the 5 tb plus the brown sugar and molasses   
      
    DD> If I'm doing a sugar substitute I go for Sugar-Twin (aspartame based)   
    DD> on a measure-for-measure basis. I've not used it for baking so I can't   
    DD> speak to its taste/effectiveness there.   
      
   We like the Stevia since it's plant based, no chemical this or that.   
      
    RH> will cancel out the bitter taste. We found the Stevia for Baking when I   
    RH> was first diagnosed as diabetic. Since then I've brought it so well   
    RH> under control that I'm now basically non diabetic but because I'm still   
    RH> considered diabetic, I do things like using the SfB to keep it well   
    RH> controlled. In June of 2012 I was told that my pancreas had died and   
      
    DD> My croakers took me off of the diabetes medication totally. They had   
    DD> tried that some years ago and my numbers showed a steady increase. So,   
    DD> back on the "daily dose". This trip, unless I've been given   
    DD> prednisone, my sugar is holding at 90 -105 (fasting). But, like you,   
    DD> I'm still considered extra- sweet.   
      
    RH> I'd be on insulin the rest of my life; end of February, 2013 I took my   
    RH> last shot and have been diet controlled ever since. My last A1C was   
    RH> 6.4.   
      
    DD> So, if your pancreas has died how are you still above the grass?   
    DD> Everyone I know who had their pancreas die (all from pancreatic   
    DD> cancer) is pushing up daffodils. You must/may have been misdiagnosed.   
      
   Don't know, probably it was an ER misdiagnoses. They did say that I had   
   pancreatitis and my A1C was 8.2, asked me how long I'd been a diabetic   
   to which I basically replied "say what???????????????". Heavy on the   
   carbs over the last few years had put me over the line and into diabetes   
   territory. Once I started eating better, as well as the "jump start" the   
   insulin, my nubers have been much better.

   I've never been a fan of cranberry sauce; mom and her mom (went to   
   grandparents for Thanksgiving) always used the jelly. I do like craisins   
   but that's basically the only form of cranberries that I'll eat.
