Been diagnosed with diabetes? No one said it was going to be easy. But if you have never cooked for yourself before, dont worry! There are plenty of delicious recipes that will satisfy your taste buds and still keep your blood sugar under control.Diabetes is a disease in which the body doesnt produce or properly use insulin. This causes blood sugar to build up, and can lead to serious health problems including heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, amputations and Alzheimers disease.The pancreas is an organ that produces enzymes and hormones to help with digestion. One of the hormones that it produces is called insulin. Insulin helps glucose (sugar) from food get into your bodys cells. It also makes sure that your body doesnt use too much sugar for energy, which can cause you to gain weight. When the pancreas doesnt make enough insulin or when the body doesnt respond normally to insulin, glucose builds up in the blood instead of going into cells where it belongs.High blood sugar levels have no symptoms, but they can cause problems later on if they arent treated. For example, high blood sugar can cause damage to your eyes and kidneys.It is important to take this first step of learning how to control your diabetes by making healthy food choices. Diabetics who dont keep a close eye on their blood sugar levels (i.e., they dont use a home glucose monitor) are 25 times as likely to have foot problems as those who do.Measure out the amounts of carbohydrate, fat and protein you eat when youre cooking at home so that you know exactly what is in your meal. Also, keep track of the amount of carbohydrates you eat each day and how many carbs are in your meals by using a glycemic index chart.With this book, youll find low-carb dishes to choose from for dinner, lunch and breakfast.Click the buy now button.
