What to Eat if You Have Diabetes (revised)

In simple, easy-to-understand language, two licensed nutritionists explain everything you need to know about diet and medication, providing specific menus to suit every lifestyle. Instead of sweeping generalizations such as "eat complex carbohydrates," they tell you exactly what foods you need to eat to control blood sugar and manage a range of diabetic needs.

Maureen B.Keane, M.S., is the author of more than a dozen books on nutrition including Smoothies for Life and Juicing for Life.

Daniella Chace, M.S., is the author of more than 20 books on nutrition and writes for Women and Cancer, HOPE, and the American Cancer Society.
