Diabetes (Recipes for Health)

Description

The right diet is the foundation for succesful management of diabetes. This revised edition is a cookbook containing over 200 recipes as well as a comprehensive guide to living well with diabetes. Published in association with the British Diabetic Association, this book contains their updated health care and nutrition advice: on keeping weight down; on using carbohydrates to steady glucose level; and what to do in an emergency. Each recipe is devised specifically to match the nutritive needs of diabetes - but these recipes are healthy enough for anyone wanting to stick to a low sugar, high fibre, low fat diet. Calorie counts and CBH (carbohydrate) ratings are provided alongside every recipe to make it easy to keep track of glucose and energy levels. The recipes are designed for: easy, everyday meals; meals for one, two or more people; dinners parties and vegetarian options when entertaining.
