  We've been advised to keep carbs lower; this recipe seems quite high to total carbohydrates.

  No, sorry, I don't think it would be suitable for diabetics with the syrup content which would be high in sugar, plus the 3 tbsp of light muscavaco and then even to add low fat yoghurt is not a good idea for good diabetes control. My nurse would freak out if she saw this recipe as being suitable for diabetics! Maybe as a one off special treat, ok!

  i totally disagree with Elizabeths comments.The refined sugar content is low if you consider that this is about 4 portions . the unsweetened wholewheat muesli and sunflower seeds reduces the overall GI content, which is how i teach my diabetic patients to control their blood sugars .

  Far better to use a conventional crumble half flour/half porridge oats but less of it and use ground ginger that has no sugar. Low fat spreads tend to make the topping go hard but some are OK so experiment or use butter and have a smaller portion.

  Really not diabetic friendly. Good for fibre but doesn't need the sugar and syrup. Better alternatives than this are available.

  I used fresh ginger rather than stem (as it was all I had), and probably overdid the quantity so ended up with a very gingery dish, and used only oats for the topping, but it was very tasty nonetheless!

  I agree with the comments regarding the high level of sugar content. I use 1/4 gluten free flour with 3/4 rolled oats and sweeten with Spenda (or similar). It works wonderfully.

  I used agarve nectar instead of the syrup and just a touch of sugar in the topping to keep the sugar content down, was very nice and also nutritous at the same time.
