Does anyone have a rough breakdown of the nutritional info. I want to help my grandmother have a better handle on her diabetic nutrition and expand her menu options. But I want to make sure I'm careful

Made this recipe today exactly as written for my 46 year old son and I because we both love fruitcake. I am a diabetic so store-bought is out of the question. This was absolutely wonderful. Nice texture and sweet despite the fact there is no sugar included. This will become my yearly "fruit cake" recipe.

Great recipe! Tasted lovely. Although the raisins, dates, prunes, figs and dried apricots are certainly NOT suitable for a diabetic. They all have a very high sugar content. Just thought others should be aware of this.
