How to Make Granola for Diabetics

When making granola for a diabetic, the cook has to take into consideration how the dish will affect the patient's overall daily diet plan. While granola can be purchased at the store, a simple recipe can be made at home that will contain 2 1/2 exchanges of starch and one exchange of fat. By making the granola at home, you ensure that ingredients are fresh and healthy.
