Diabetes Meal
Planning &
Nutrition

Diabetes Meal Planning & Nutrition For Dummies zeroes in on the important relationship between diabetes and food, and helps you make choices that benefit your
long-term health and satisfy your eating preferences. The book’s focus is on
which foods you can, and should, eat to improve your health with diabetes, and
not on what you shouldn’t eat. There is no doubt, by the way, that how you choose
to eat when you have diabetes can have a remarkable effect on your health — this
book helps ensure that effect is a positive one. And it is not just about considering
the nutrients we eat in the greatest quantity — for diabetes the all-important
carbohydrates, fats, and proteins — but also to understand the vital role of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, as well as the new science of our gut
microbiome and food constituents called bioactive compounds that can have profound antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
