Overview:
Managing diabetes doesn't mean giving up delicious, family-friendly food. Written by food writer Vickie De Beer alongside paediatric dietician Kath Megaw, this cookbook combines clear medical explanations with over 100 low-carb recipes for real family life. Covering both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, it explains symptoms, blood sugar monitoring and medication basics before moving into seasonal meal plans and simple, nutrient-packed dishes. It's an accessible, reassuring resource for parents, carers and anyone newly diagnosed.

About the Book:
Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Cookbook is part medical reference, part family cookbook. It opens with clear, jargon-free explanations of what Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are, how to recognise the symptoms, and the medications commonly used to control them. A Green Food List and Red Food List take the guesswork out of shopping, showing at a glance what to buy and what to avoid, while Summer and Winter Meal Plans help take the stress out of everyday cooking all year round. A dedicated Sick Day Protocol, plus advice on medication changes and navigating pregnancy while diabetic, addresses the realities of living with the condition. The recipes are grouped seasonally and cover every meal of the day, from breakfasts and mains to sauces, treats and drinks, with favourites including Superfast Omelettes, Haddock Frittata, Steak Tortillas, Creamy Cheesecake and Chocolate Freezer Fudge. Each dish is simple to shop for and prepare, while delivering the nutrients growing bodies and busy adults need, bridging clinical advice with the everyday question of what to put on the table.
