Diabetic Recipes for One and Two - Paperback

by Michelle Berriedale-Johnson (Author)

Over 500 million people worldwide are living with diabetes. There is a continued universal increase in prevalence, confirming diabetes as a significant global challenge to the health and well-being of individuals, families and societies. Present figures indicate USA more than 130 million, UK almost 5 million, and 1.3 million in Australia with alarming levels of increase in Pakistan, India and the Middle East. Most cases of diabetes are Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) and happily this is controlled by diet and exercise.

However, as many of today's diabetics are either living alone or as a couple, preparing meals using regular diabetic cookbooks which cater for four or more people can provide meals that are too big and wasteful. Diabetic Recipes for One and Two solves the problem by offering a collection of easy, tempting recipes in smaller portions. Based on the very latest research it gives nutritional guidelines, advice on how to shop and plan your meals and over 100 recipes catering for contemporary culinary tastes, consisting of meals with a high intake of vegetables, pulses, fruit and whole grains.
