Caramel Chocolate Streusel Coffee Cake

I got this when I did a search for Diabetic Chocolate Caramel Struesel Cake.. Please tell me if Im wrong.

This sweet coffee cake is filled with mini chocolate chips and drizzled with melted caramel. It's great for breakfast or dessert. I made this to get rid of a craving for sweets this morning. Im not sure of the exchanges, but I did the best I could to use light or unsweetened everything I could. It was still good.
