Book description
Many of us, at the best of times, struggle for inspiration when it
comes to cooking - and that's without a medical condition that may
affect our eating habits and require careful management. The right diet
is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle and all the more important for
the successful management of diabetes.
Fully updated for a UK audience Diabetes Cookbook For Dummies
will include the latest dietary recommendations and medical
information on diabetes and its management. Packed with over 100
delicious and easy to prepare recipes - for everyday eating and
entertaining - alongside a brand new section on packing healthy
lunches and picnics, this book will help make mealtimes interesting
and healthy. The book also offers guidance on the glycaemic index,
nutritional information, diabetic exchanges for each recipe and
lifestyle advice to help readers take control of their condition and
live life to the full.
