Millions of people worldwide live with the word "diabetes" as a part of their daily routines. One of the major weapons in a person's lifelong battle against complications of the disease is the ability to choose. You can choose to exercise every day. You can choose to take your medications. Perhaps your most effective resource is your skill at making the right food choices. The consequences of following the right diet are immediate and enormous. The Diabetes Cookbook For Dummies is both a cookbook that shows you how to prepare good-for-you, good-tasting foods in your own home and a guide to eating out in restaurants and fast-food places.
