Now I'm confused. I was diagnosed as diabetic over 40 years ago and 
have never had a doctor or an R.D. mention salt in connection to my
diabetes. But, the croakers have preached about it in relation to the
blood pressure. Fortunately I am one of the lucky ones who salt does 
not affect W.R.T. blood pressure. My house mate OTOH .....

Oh, and welcome to the cooking echo. Several of us are diabetic so you
should feel right at home.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Apple Rice Pudding
 Categories: Diabetic, Desserts, Rice, Fruits
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      2 c  Cooked rice *
      1 c  Milk
      1 tb Liquid Sugartwin **
           - (1/4 c sugar)
    1/4 c  Raisins; regular or golden
      1 ts Vanilla
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
      1    Tart apple; shredded peel on
    1/4 ts Ascorbic acid; colour
           - keeper ***
 
  1 tbsp liquid Sugartwin has the sweetness of 4 tbsp or
  1/4 cup sugar. American Diabetes Assoc. guidelines allow
  1 tsp sugar per serving or 2 tbsp for a 6 serving recipe
  which would taste OK to people accustomed to low sugar
  recipes.
  
  Combine rice, milk, sweetener (or sugar) raisins,
  vanilla and spices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and
  stir occasionally until the mixture is creamy.
  
  Core and shred apple and sprinkle with ascorbic acid
  color keeper, or with a little lemon juice. Stir apple
  into rice mixture. Cook a few minutes longer until apple
  is soft.
  
  Serve warm or cold.
  
  1/6 recipe made with artificial sweetner - 1 starch
  choice, 1 milk
  
  Optional: Cook 2/3 cup rice in 1 2/3 cups water. Make
  pudding as above without apple and add 2 tbsp coconut.

  NOTES: * I used brown rice - just for S & G
  
  ** Granulated (dry) Sugar Twin is MUCH easier as it is
  a volume for volume substitute for sucrose sugar.
  
  *** Ascorbic acid is also known as vitamin C. While powder
  is available, a sprinkle of lemon or lime juice works just
  as well.
