I think they mean egg beaters. I don't see why you couldn't use regular eggs for a diabetic, but I would be sure to check with her first.

Personally I always prefer real eggs. They taste a lot better.

could be because of low fat calories that egg beaters have. My mother is a diabetic and she is chose not to be on insulin and she controls her diabetes through low fat, low-sugar diet and exercise.

I hadn't thought of that, but you're totally right.

Will the two eggs be that much of a difference though? I can't imagine 2 or 3 eggs compared to egg beaters being more than 100 calories or so, if that.

thank you for the reply I sent a email to the company I got the recipe from and they say to use egg beaters or a product like that.
