      Introduction

      If you’re living with diabetes (either because you have diabetes or you have a loved one with diabetes), you likely already know that one of the most important tools to help you keep your diabetes under control is to eat healthfully. Hopefully, you also know that healthy eating with diabetes doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste, variety, or the simple, sheer pleasure of eating well.

      We believe passionately that there is no such thing as a “diabetic diet.” A so-called diabetic diet is simply a nutritious, healthy eating program that balances the appropriate amounts of the key nutrients and supplies the right amount of calories for your needs.

      The recipes in Diabetes Cookbook For Canadians For Dummies are suitable for anyone who wants to eat healthfully, whether or not you have diabetes. The recipes are also suitable for low-fat diets and lower sodium diets as well.

      On these pages you will discover a huge variety of recipes that will not only satisfy your hunger, but will do so in a nourishing way. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, party foods, treats for kids, and treats for adults – it’s all here.

      And because staying healthy with diabetes is so very dependent on being empowered – the more you know, the more you can master your diabetes – we devote the first few chapters of this book to looking at key aspects of diabetes care, including the roles that nutrition, exercise, and medications can play.

      About This Book

      This book was written with a single overriding purpose: to help people living with diabetes prepare foods that are as tasty and enjoyable to eat as they are nutritious. We’re also hoping that as you create the recipes in this book you’ll find the time to read some (or even all) of Part I, where we examine all sorts of ways that you can use nutrition (and other strategies) to stay healthy with your diabetes.

      The recipes in this book were chosen based on several guiding principles.
