Yeah, don’t graham crackers have sugar in them? I have gestational diabetes and they’re not letting me have ANYTHING with real sugar in it. I guess I have it pretty badly. But … yeah is the whole cheesecake diabetic friendly? Just curious… lol dying for some sweets!

*averts eyes* no more anything with the word “cheesecake” in it, even if it is preceded by the words “low” and “fat” …

Yumm!!! Fat-free Cream cheese?? I don’t think they make that here in Australia! We have “light”..must go check out the dairy case when I shop. Regardless, I think I need to adjust the points and give it a go. Thanks for the recipe!
