I have been diabetic for 52 years. Guidelines are constantly changing. Currently as long as you control for number of carbs and your total calories, you will do fine. This recipe would fit into a diabetic meal plan. What you can't do is eat the 18 servings in one day!! I plan on making these. - 2/20/11

Used Splenda white and brown, doubled cinnamon, added 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg, 1/8 tsp ground clove, and 2/3 dry cup measure of dark chocolate chips. Otherwise, followed recipe. Baking time varies with altitude and weather as with any recipe, but watch for bottoms to brown. Remove from pan quickly. - 2/20/12

I used Spenda brown sugar-splenda blend, reducing calories and carbs. The cookies are a nice treat.
More important, some of the comments are really mean spirited, may I suggest that you read the instructions under Rate This Recipe. Ratings are to be based on taste & if you would make again. - 2/20/11

I loved them but I changed them.I used 3/4 cup applesauce so no butter or oil was used. I subbed 1/4 Molasses and 1/4 brown sugar. They did not spread but they were great.I had no butter or smart balance but I had a fresh orange and really wanted to make these, The orange cinnamon was great. - 3/1/12

eh, these are ok. They expanded during cooking, so leave plenty of space between cookies. The orange twist to a regular oatmeal cookie is good. I did not have the recommended butter, so I used 1/4c butter, 1/4c margarine. They did want to crumble when taken off the pan. For me baking took 15min.

GREAT cookies! My sister is a registered dietician and was pleased with the nutritional info, especially since I yielded 36 cookies from a single recipe, thus cutting everything down by half (smaller cookies=I get to eat more!) and my diabetic grandmother will be ecstatic to munch on these at Xmas! - 12/4/12

I had to use real butter instead of smart balance, and I accidentally added wheat germ instead of wheat bran, but I don't think that would make these cookies as bland and tastless as they were. They puffed up like cake and even after adding pure orange extract, they still had very little flavor. :( - 1/6/13
