By Betty Crocker Editors
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
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.
