I work for the Diabetes Foundation of Mississippi. Check out some of the excellent references for people with diabetes on the Novo Nordisk Cornerstones for Care website-they have a book on carb counting that is great! See if your endo's office has a registered dietitian who is also a certified diabetes educator(CDE) to help you with meal planning . Reducing sugar to cut back on total carbs is a great first step when baking. Accurate portion sizing is also important to know how many grams of carb you are eating so I'd suggest getting a food scale. Some of my colleagues with diabetes use some almond flour instead of wheat flour to help cut back on carbs and have found recipes on a blog, "All Day I Dream about Food" that helps them balance BG and food.
