Aimed at both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetics, as well as people who are glucose intolerant, "The NHS Guide to Diabetes" moves from basic questions such as What is diabetes? and What can I do? to a clear outline of the principles of healthy eating. With a large recipe section including dishes from around the world, this guide contains key lifestyle and dietary advice for anyone living with the condition.
Inside Flap
Produced in association with NHS professionals and Diabetes UK, The Diabetes Guide contains all the information you need to achieve better control of the condition by focusing on a healthier lifestyle. It provides accessible, realistic and reassuring tips to stop diabetes controlling your life. Aimed at people with diabetes, as well as those who are at risk of developing the condition, it lays out clear diet and exercise principles, the importance of the Glycemic Index (GI) and how much of the scientific know-how comes down to a simple case of balance. The guide clearly presents the facts about diabetes and exposes diabetes myths, explaining how the onset of Type 2 diabetes can be delayed and possibly prevented. With friendly and up-to-date lifestyle information from specialists in the field and delicious European, Asian and Afro Caribbean recipes, The Diabetes Guide contains key advice for anyone living with, or supporting someone with, the condition, offering a complete diet, exercise and lifestyle plan with simple and realistic targets.
