Is this Prune-Coconut Bars Recipe Suitable for Diabetics?

This Prune-Coconut Bars recipe is one of our category which contains diabetic Snack recipes. As we don`t know your individual medical problems and the guidelines your health advisors have given you, we we can`t confirm that Prune-Coconut Bars recipe is suitable for you. For all that, because the recipe author labelled it as `diabetic` it suggests that it at least complies with the basic condition for the label `diabetic`, being low in carbohydrates and fat, and so should be better for your health than the non-diabetic equivalent recipe. However, this Prune-Coconut Bars recipe must only be used if you understand your own condition and are happy that the recipe ingredients are safe for you.

This Prune-Coconut Bars Recipe is part of our diabetic Snack recipes collection. Sadly it would be completely impracticable for us to check every one of the diabetic Snack recipes to ensure that they are all totally OK for diabetes sufferers. Our diabetic recipe site has in excess of two thousand individual recipes in the collection, & to prepare every one of them even at a rate of one each day would occupy us for nearly 6 years. We strongly urge you to analyse the nutritional content to verify that they comply with the dietary advice your medical team has provided. If you think that this Prune-Coconut Bars recipe is wrong, let us know and we will modify or remove the problem recipe from the site.
