Blueberries are low in carbs and therefore do not have a significant impact on blood glucose levels, making them a good choice for diabetics.
Blueberries can also be frozen without reducing any of their antioxidant properties or delicate structure. So pick up those on offer in the supermarket and get them in the freezer ... now that's a good idea!

...cool and refreshing!
Will be referring to this in spring ☺ love blueberries. I read today that goji berries are not good for us, is this true Jan?
What a coincidence. I have just got a bag of blueberries this evening.
This looks delicious!
mmmmmmmmmm
Hello, cheesecake is delicious and I love blueberries. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!
Tiene que estar riquísima. Un beso.
awwww, it's blueberry season here and this looks really good!!
I have never tried that sweetener before but I have to be so careful with ones I do use because I either get a headache or they don't play pretty with my Fibromyalgia. Right now I am using Stevia that seems to be doing ok. I tried baking with it however and was disappointed cause it just did not produce the sweet I wanted. Your pie looks yummy however.
Absolutely need t try this recipe as I just love cheese cake.
If I had to pick a favourite fruit, it's blueberry.
This sounds delicious. I've made something similar before. I LOVE blueberries!
Sounds great! Hugs, Valerie
looks delicious Jan!

Cheese cake, sugar and glutten free, with blueberries - it can't go wrong. It's a wonderful treat!

Happy Day to you,

Hello Grace, many thanks for your comment and question.
Care needs to be taken with goji berries ...
Goji Berries: Health Benefits and Side Effects
Have you been wondering about the health benefits of goji berries and goji juice? Some claim that the goji berry is a fountain of youth.
But does it really live up to those claims? And do dried goji berries have side effects? Here are answers to your questions.
What Is a Goji Berry?
The goji berry, also called the wolfberry, is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that's native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hope of living longer.
Over time, people have used goji berries to try to treat many common health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, fever, and age-related eye problems. Goji berries are eaten raw, cooked, or dried (like raisins) and are used in herbal teas, juices, wines, and medicines.
What Are the Benefits of Goji Berries?
Goji berries are rich in nutrients.
Some studies using goji berry juice found possible benefits that included a feeling of well being and calmness, better athletic performance and quality of sleep, and weight loss. But those were preliminary studies that need to be repeated before drawing conclusions. Many berries are good for you. It's not clear if goji berries are better than other types of berries, or if goji berry supplements would have the same health benefits as the actual berries.
Do Goji Berries Have Side Effects?
Goji berries could interact with some drugs. If you take warfarin (a blood thinner), you may want to avoid goji berries. Goji berries may also interact with diabetes drugs and blood pressure drugs, so talk with your doctor first.
Otherwise, it's probably safe to eat goji berries in moderation.
Before taking diet supplements, let your doctor know.

Oh, this looks so pretty and delicious! Thank you for the recipe - going to try this! Hope you have a lovely weekend! xo Karen
Love the ingenuity which ensures that low carb doesn't mean treat free.
I didn't know blueberries could be frozen and keep the fresh quality.
This one sure gets my vote for the yummm factor!!!
Oh my goodness, Jan!! This looks amazing and cheesecake and blueberries are my two favorite things! Off to pin this one, because I think I could really make it!!
Oh this looks yummy. Thanks for the information on blueberries, I love them.
Yummm, looks delicious xx
I like that this cheesecake is also gluten-free! I also love blueberries and buy them weekly--they are worth it!
It looks delicious!Hugs!
Fresh blueberries are such a treat. I'm looking forward to making a cheesecake of some sort and topping it with fresh ones from our garden. I'd share if I could!
Love cheesecake with blueberries on it.
That is one thing I have never made..
I love cheesecake with blueberries!
what a beautiful treat,,
I just bought ingredients to try a LC cheesecake. It's a little different from this one in that it calls for sugar free lime or lemon jello, but it just looks so yummy in the pics, doesn't it?
Have a great weekend!
That looks so good. I recently restarted my efforts to be low carb and this will be perfect for a dessert night.
MMMM does that sound delicious!! We found some wild blueberries in the frozen section and they are smaller than the regular ones, I like to use those in my baking.
Yummy! I want some right now! Thank you Jan! Big Hugs!
Oh Yes!. can't miss that. My second pud this evening Jan. You really do spoil us with these recipes.
Cheesecake is one of my most favourite things. In fact I could eat it right now for breakfast!
