Hi everyone,

Here's a pancake that I had for a dessert tonight, I like a nice pudding and I love pancakes and see then as fast food, I make some batter leave it in the fridge and then have a pancake or two later...😊

Sounds good, here's one better, For ALL diabetes, make your pancakes, which normally is a BIG NO, NO using Almond or Coconut flour is a better option has less carbs

[Hidden in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Buckwheat is really good for a diabetic as it helps lower blood sugar levels, coconut flour is an odd one for baking but I fancy making some with ground almonds and buckwheat flour so its gluten free, as I'm a coeliac and not diabetic. 😊

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for that information, I hadn't heard of buckwheat being good for pancakes?

[Hidden in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Buckwheat flour is great for pancakes and diabetes here's a link about buckwheat flour and diabetes:

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for that, also what else that was in that link was a book called (things that your doctor didn't tell you about diabetes). Sounded interesting so I ordered it. Hopefully I'll find useable information. I'm kinda new to diabetes trying to find out whatever information I can.

[Hidden in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Hi there, it must be daunting at first I know what I felt like when first diagnosed as a coeliac. so can relate to how you must feel.

HU diabetic forums and Activity2004 (Leah) has type 1 diabetes and is admin on both these forums as well as HE, so you're in good company on here and will hopefully soon find what works for you.

Hi, when I make pancakes I mix some flour with milk and an egg so its a thick batter and then leave out to stand in the fridge for at least an hour. I don't bother weighing the flour or measuring the milk. I also use goats milk as that's easier to digest than cows milk.

I'm glad the cake turned out OK and I had some warm with custard as well. 😊
