Everyday Low Carb is the definitive guide to low-carb eating for people with diabetes, from the experts at the American Diabetes Association.
As many people living with diabetes know, carbohydrate is an important nutrient that plays a large role in managing blood glucose. With this in mind, a number of diets have been created over the years designed to reduce or eliminate carbs as a way to improve glycemic control. Unfortunately, many of these fad diets weren't based on scientific evidence and were unhealthy, heard to follow, and sometimes dangerous for people with diabetes. With this in mind, the American Diabetes Association teamed up with author and registered dietitian Christy Brissette to create Everyday Low Carb: A Complete Guide to Carb-Savvy Eating for People with Diabetes and Prediabetes.
More than just a recipe collection, this book provides essential tips and guidance addressing the special needs of people with diabetes, such as interactions with medications and insulin regimens, balancing nutrients other than carb, fat intake and heart health, a summary of the evidence on low-carb meal planning and diabetes, realistic guidance on choosing a low carb eating pattern that works for you, and much more.
