A pumpkin pie can be loaded with fat and sugar. A diabetes pumpkin pie, however, retains the nutrients that are good for you while eliminating most of the fat and sugar. According to eHow.com, half a cup of pumpkin pie filling provides 11 grams of fiber. This is nearly ¼ of the recommended daily intake of fiber for the average adult. Pumpkin pie also contains vitamin A, which is needed for your immune system to function properly because it helps in the production of red blood cells. It also is necessary for good eyesight.  Diabetes pumpkin pie filling also contains potassium, vitamin C and iron.
