At last! This special cookbook puts flavor and choice back on the menu for people with diabetes and their families
Betty Crocker, America's most trusted friend in the kitchen, has teamed
up with the International Diabetes Center (IDC)--one of the leading
medical centers--to create an indispensable source of easy-to-make
recipes and up-to-the-minute food and nutrition information for the
growing numbers of people who have diabetes, more than 15 million of
them.
Here is the first cookbook to include recipes featuring
Carbohydrate Choices--the new, simplified approach to meal planning
recommended by the American Diabetes Association. For people who find
diet exchanges too hard, too limiting or too much work, this new method
is a real breakthrough. Each of the book's 140 recipes shows the number
of Carbohydrate Choices per serving, so that planning the rest of the
meal is easy. From Old-Time Beef and Vegetable Stew to Creamy
Vanilla-Caramel Cheesecake, the recipes are made with everyday
ingredients, including sugar. No food groups or ingredients are left
out, so there's no need for anyone to feel deprived or restricted to a
special diet. Food exchanges are also included, making it easy for
those who still count calories.
Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook
is also packed with expert medical and nutrition tips from Dr. Richard
Bergenstal, an endocrinologist and diabetes doctor, and two registered
nurses--invaluable for the newly diagnosed as well as for those who
have been coping with diabetes for years. Throughout the book,
real-life advice from people who have diabetes offers inspiration and
great ideas on dealing with this chronic disease. When it comes to
eating and living with diabetes, people need guidance and advice they
can trust.
From the Inside Flap
No matter what type
of diabetes you have, the diagnosis can feel overwhelming. You may have
questions about what you can or should eat and whether there are some
foods you have to give up altogether–that’s where this book can help.
Betty Crocker, teamed with diabetes experts from the International
Diabetes Center, has created an all-in-one diabetes resource, filled
with delicious recipes and up-to-the-minute medical and nutrition
information. Here’s
great news about diabetes: The best-kept secret of diabetes food
planning is that it’s good for everyone. You may think that people with
diabetes need special foods prepared special ways, but as you look
through this book, you’ll find a wide variety of delicious and
satisfying foods that you can eat–and that the whole family will enjoy.
This book is designed to make meals easy. It’s our first
cookbook to count Carbohydrate Choices for every recipe, following the
latest guidelines of the American Diabetes Association. You’ll
also turn to this book for its easy-to-follow health information, from
an explanation of the types of diabetes to a nutrition primer and a
medical resource guide. The section "Diabetes Care: It’s in Your Hands"
empowers you to understand your care process. The goal is to help you
feel in control of your diabetes, instead of letting diabetes control
you. Throughout, you’ll find plenty of encouragement. There’s
real-life advice from people with diabetes, as well as parents of kids
with diabetes and other caregivers who deal with diabetes day in, day
out. Finally, you’ll find a week’s worth of delicious menus,
complete with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack ideas, followed by a
glossary of medical, nutrition and other diabetes terms. As a source for recipes and so much more, Betty Crocker’s Diabetes Cookbook will become your all-in-one diabetes resource.
