A note for people with diabetes
This recipe contains no added table sugar, but almond flour, milk, yogurt, and berries still contribute some carbohydrates. Individual blood-glucose responses vary, so check the nutrition information for your specific ingredients and consider your usual carbohydrate target.
If you use glucose-lowering medication or insulin, don’t assume that a “sugar-free” or “diabetic” label means unlimited portions.
