The complete nutritional solution to diabetes

Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious health problems, but understanding the condition makes it easier to manage. The complete nutritional solution to diabetes moves from diagnosis to how to achieve correct glucose levels and maintain an optimum weight through diet and exercise. Nutrition is the key to managing glucose levels and the title covers topics such as carbohydrates, the glycaemic index, the role of proteins and fats, artificial sweeteners, and how to incorporate whole grains into your diet. Weight loss and maintenance are dealt with, as is the importance of regular physical activity. A chapter is dedicated to the special needs of children and adolescents with diabetes. Healthy eating is promoted by suggestions for weekly meal plans, while a recipe section includes over 40 recipes suitable for the whole family.
