Hi,
My boyfriend has diabetes type 1. He is very active, and if it wasn't
for frequent hypos nobody would know that he had it.

I have tried to help with the hypos by making very "balanced" GI food
for him, e.g. some fast and plenty of slow carbs in all meals.

I recently got an ice cream maker as a gift and have had lots of fun
making home-made ice cream! Now I want to make some ice cream for Brian!

He says his favourite flavour is rum & raisin.
I made a batch which tastes fantastic. It contains the following:

2 egg yolks, 1.5 cup of cream, 0.5 cup molasses, 0.75 cup sweetener,
pinch of salt, 0.5 cup raisins, 1 cup coconut milk and 5 bottle hats of
dark Rum.

Obvviously this is not healthy, but it tastes fabulous and everyone
deserves a treat from time to time!

My questions:
Is my ice cream likely to be high, medium or low GI? (I can't even guess!)

Am I fooling myself to think that it makes a difference to a diabetic
whether I use a mix of sweetener,fruit sugar and molasses rather than
normal white caster sugar?

I use the above mix for baking as well.

I feel as if I would almost poison my boyfriend if I was go cook things
with sugar in it! I'd hate for him to have to take a special injection
just for enjoying a treat.

Any thoughts on this appreciated!

Jo
