Let's eat dessert: Sugar free is not the tyrant it once was

I have type 2 diabetes...I'm learning to be healthier but lets face it who doesn't want something sweet now and then? I am human dammit I want to have dessert with my friends! I want to thank Murray cookie company for making sugar free vanilla wafer cookies! Voortman has a sweet little wafer sugarfree chocolate cookie that is killer too. Just because you can't have sugar doesn't mean you can't have dessert. Now if we can get them to do whole wheat or multigrain I would worship at their feet. White flour is the tyrant that sucks our souls. I am trying to avoid anything white bleached and processed! I demand a better healthier cookie! Do not resort to making me bake! You will not like what happens when I am forced to bake! On that note Edy's makes a slow churned rich and creamy no sugar added vanilla ice cream thats delicious and 4 grams of sugar and 5 of sugar alcohol pr half cup serving... I also stumbled on this little recipe for banana pudding. packet instant sugar free vanilla pudding (makes 2 cups) 1 and 3/4 cups smart balance heart right fat free milk 2 tablespoons walnut peices 1 box Sugar free Vanilla wafers one medium banana sliced 1/2 cup fat free sour cream put your pudding and milk and sour cream into a 3 cup shaker cup and have at it! Once it's blended put a layer of the cookies a 4cup bowl (glass cause 50% of good is the look and 50% is the taste) then a layer of banana slices then the pudding. Repeat layering it until you have filled the bowl. Crush a few cookies and the walnuts together and sprinkle across the top and refridgerate with some plastic wrap across the top. 1/2 cup serving is all you need to feel like you'd died and gone to Georgia.
