My hubby has recently been diagnosed with diabetes, but he’s super skinny, so i’m still trying to fatten him up at the same time as cutting sugar out of his diet. So cue the tasty sugar free, diabetic friendly recipes!

Up first, as it’s his favourite, is this Coffee & Walnut Cake recipe. Having played around with and looked into the various different sugar alternatives on the market, I found a mixture of Natvia (a natural Stavia product) and Canderel Sugarly (an artificial sweetener) works well.
