Have you ever considered baking for your grandfather with xylitol? It's a great sugar replacement, it's natural (especially compared to fake sugars) and it's safe for diabetics. Some people experience a bit of gastrointestinal upset when they first start consuming it in quantity, but that's just for a short while as your body gets used to it, and usually only happens if you're eating a lot of it.
