Pocket Guide to Juvenile Diabetes - The Low Glycaemic Index Solution.
In Australia, the incidence of Type 1, or "juvenile", diabetes has almost doubled in the last five years. This book offers invaluable advice for those newly diagnosed, and a better way for young people with a history of the disease. We now know that different carbohydrates have wildly varying effects on blood sugar levels. Foods with a low G.I. are absorbed much more slowly, so for diabetics they are essential food.
This book provides clear and reliable information on the disease and the foods that will help manage it, plus:
- low G.I. menus for all ages
- foods for coping with bouts of sickness
- alternatives for sporty or active children
- an A-Z listing of over 300 foods with their G.I. factor, fat and carbohydrate count
