Is this Buttermilk Scones Recipe Suitable for Diabetics?

This Buttermilk Scones recipe is part of our category covering diabetic Cake recipes. Because we don`t know your unique diabetic conditions & the guidelines your medical team has offered you, we we can`t confirm that Buttermilk Scones recipe is appropriate for you. Even taking that into account, as the recipe author designated it as `diabetic` it hopefully indicates that it, at the very least, matches the basic requirements, being low fat and low carb and should be more healthy than a typical non-diabetic recipe. Still, this Buttermilk Scones recipe should only be used if you understand your own condition and are happy that the ingredients are suitable for you.

This Buttermilk Scones Recipe comes from our diabetic Cake recipes collection. Sadly it would be totally impracticable for us to cook every one of the diabetic Cake recipes to establish that all the recipes are completely safe for people with diabetes. There are thousands of unique recipes in the collection, and to cook each recipe even at a rate of 7 per week would occupy us for as long as six years. We strongly advise you to check the ingredients to make sure that all the recipes agree with the diabetes nutritional advice your nutritionalist has given you. In the event that you feel that this Buttermilk Scones recipe is unsuitable for sufferers of diabetes, please inform us and we will change or remove the problem recipe from our recipe site.
