If you wanted to make this more diabetic friendly, I would do this, although, it will still be a little carb filled, it will be more friendly to those of us who can't take the carbs.Use sugar-free pudding instead of fat free,Splenda instead of sugar,sugar free pound cake,i.e. Pound cake made with Splenda ( you probably would have to make your own), sugar free preserves,and sugar free whipped topping. I don't know what the nutritional value would be after these changes, but it has to better than it is, as one reviewer says, this is not diabetic friendly.

Can someone tell my WHY this is labeled DIABETIC when it has a MEAL'S worth of carbs? Call it Low-Fat, but no diabetic! It is so frustrating to find recipes which look like they are friends, only to discover they are foes!
