SynopsisThere are no two ways about it: A diagnosis of diabetes changes your life forever. Diabetes is a potentially disabling, even deadly, disease that as yet has no cure. But there is good news! When diabetes is treated properly, its devastating effects can be postponed or avoided altogether. And that's where The Diabetic Bible comes in. It's your guide to making lifestyle and treatment choices to improve your blood sugar control and ward off complications, choices that will help you feel better and live well with diabetes. Whether you have been recently diagnosed or struggling for years to improve your diabetes control, The Diabetic Bible is the reference for you. In the first part of the book, you'll find easy-to-follow explanations of diabetes, its causes and complications, its association with other major health problems such as high blood pressure, even its increasing incidence in children. To get and stay committed to controlling your diabetes, it's important to remember how it affects your body in both the short and long term. Part two explores the many tools for managing diabetes-from blood sugar monitoring and simple diet and activity adjustments to pills and insulin therapy. Understanding what treatments are available and how they are best used can help you stay on top of this progressive disease and make adjustments to keep your blood sugar well controlled. The third section digs deeper into the day-to-day dietary choices you can make to maintain control without feeling deprived. Many people assume there's a strict diabetic diet that must be followed. In truth, eating wisely with diabetes means expanding your food options and making choices that are varied, smart, and satisfying. To that end, the third section includes a counter that lists hundreds of foods and their calorie, total carbohydrate, fiber, total fat, saturated fat, protein, cholesterol, and sodium contents. It will give you the freedom to design your own diabetic meal plan to keep your blood sugar under control and your taste buds happy. Since eating should be a joy as well as a way to manage diabetes, the book's final section includes more than 100 delicious recipes, even for desserts. Each recipe includes nutrient information to help you determine how the dish will affect your blood sugar and how best to mix and match it with other foods for flavorful meals that fit nicely into your dietary goals. The Diabetic Bible is the guide you'll turn to again and again as you learn how to improve blood sugar control and take better care of yourself. Make it a part of your diabetes treatment plan today.
