Low fat and sugar fruit loaf image

When my husband and I found out he had high colesterol and I was a borderline diabetic we knew we had to change our diets. The only thing was we love cakes and desserts. As a result this fruit loaf was created. We love it and I even make one a week for my dad as he is also a diabetic. (Please note full diabetics should take into consideration their daily intake of fruit when eating this loaf.)
