Personally, I wouldn't. The ADA is notorious for their concentration on
low-fat and not on the carbohydrates which are the things that make the
blood glucose numbers high.

I have plenty of ADA recipes that are so high in carbs that they are
laughable. Desserts that are 45 grams of carbs (the entire 3 carb-count
servings permitted in your diet).

The ADA does some good things and we have been members for many, many
years, but their recipes are silly.
