U.S. News and World Report came out with their “best diets 2014,” and I must say that the first paragraph in this write-up basically sums up what’s in my book. (Well, there’s actually more, but the message about balance is a big part of it.)
For those who are new to diabetes, especially, and for those who love someone with diabetes and need to understand it a little more, please consider picking up a copy of People With Diabetes Can Eat Anything: It’s All About Balance. Shameless plug, perhaps, but the truth is, this is important information for a lot of people who either haven’t gotten the message or need a place to sort through and make sense of all the information.
In addition to the message about balance in nutrition, my other big point is that it’s not a can or can’t situation: it’s really about choices that we make. This approach helps us have a positive attitude about managing diabetes, which, in turn, helps us live well with diabetes.
