Many of us, at the best of times, struggle for inspiration when it
comes to cooking – and that’s without a medical
condition that may affect our eating habits and require careful
management. The right diet is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle
and all the more important for the successful management of
diabetes.

eating and entertaining – alongside a brand new section on packing
healthy lunches and picnics, this book will help make mealtimes
interesting and healthy. The book also offers guidance on the
glycaemic index, nutritional information, diabetic exchanges for

their condition and live life to the full.
