I have made this pie on several occasions both with sugar and without and it comes out tasting practically the same either way. Oh and how it tastes is pretty amazing too. Here is a link to the original recipe as you will note this is a really quick pie to put together as well. Following is the more diabetic friendly version. Note the change in the instructions I made about adding the strawberries to the saucepan rather than dumping the glaze over them in the pie shell – this works better and keeps voids out of the pie.
