Synopsis For diabetics, changes in diet can be a key factor, along with exercise and medication, in fighting or controlling the disease. But it often requires a whole reeducation, and that can be intimidating, confusing, and frustrating. This reference work addresses one essential area--food and nutrition--and breaks it down into simple, practical steps. The authors tell how to read a food label and how to set goals, as well as providing facts about meats, beans, vegetables, grains, and fruits--and, of course, sugar. Using THE DIABETES FOOD AND NUTRITION BIBLE, diabetics will find out what probably everyone needs to learn: that there are more, not fewer, choices available when good nutrition is the goal, and that foods loaded with nutrients can still be tasty, interesting, and simple to prepare. But the key, for diabetics, is sound planning based on knowledge of what foods do. Diabetics will now have a powerful resource that can help them work toward a healthy life.
