Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A healthy diet should be an important feature of our daily life and include a variety of foods from all food groups - plenty of vegetables and fruits, breads and cereals, some dairy foods, lean meat and/or meat alternatives, and a small amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

Recipes for people with diabetes have traditionally been sugar-free. Nutritionists now accept that a small amount of sugar may be enjoyed by individuals with diabetes, as part of a healthy eating plan. All recipes in Diabetes: Good Food Choices satisfy the nutritional guidelines suitable for diabetes and overall healthy eating. Unless otherwise stated, the recipes use wholegrain cereal products, low-fat dairy products, minimal sugar, and polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

In the interests of health and diabetes management, each recipe provides a nutritional analysis for kilojoules, total fat, saturated fat, and fibre, calculated for the recipe and per serve.

A quick reference glossary includes diabetes-related terms and concepts.
