Here's my dry rub recipe for ribs. I would suggest you have your doctor
send you to a Diabetes education program as soon as possible. Measure
for measure, the concentrated orange juice will have just about as much
carbohydrate as the sugar.

Baby-back Ribs

Dry Rub
8 Tbsps brown sugar or Splenda Brown Sugar substitute
3 Tbsps salt
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp Bell's Poultry Seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika

In a bowl combine spices and mix well. Sprinkle the ribs generously with
the rub. Pat the rub into the meat. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Cook your usual method. I slow smoke mine on the grill with hickory or
mesquite chips in the smoker box. Serve with your favorite barbeque
sauce. The rub recipe makes enough for 5 or 6 slabs of ribs. I store it
in a sealed jar.
