Foreword
Many people with diabetes-and their doctors-think of the condition as a one-way street. Once it has been diagnosed, we begin a never-ending series of blood sugar tests, medication adjustments, and gradually worsening symptoms. But happily, that has begun to change. In a research study at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, in cooperation with doctors at Georgetown University, a group of people with Type 2 diabetes, the kind that typically begins in adulthood, tested a new diabetic diet. They found that their blood sugar levels got better and better and their need for medication quickly fell. And many others have found that, as the improvements continue, the disease sometimes simply disappears.
Of course, this does not often happen with the old-fashioned diets still used by most practitioners. But if you or a loved one has diabetes, you will want to put this wonderful program to work today.
We also have better means than ever for managing Type 1 diabetes, the kind that starts in children and young adults, and even some surprising clues as to its causes that could help us prevent it in the first place.
In this book you will find the keys to a healthy, vibrant life. The latest and very best nutritional guidelines have been carefully drafted by diabetes experts, and are presented with delicious recipes that put them to use.
I wish you the best of health.

Understanding Diabetes
Diabetes is a two-way street. For too many people it has presented serious health challenges, but we know that it can improve and, in some cases, even disappear with the right diet and lifestyle changes. This book will give you the information you need to prevent, manage, or even reverse diabetes.
In the early 1980s, evidence began to emerge showing that Type 2 (sometimes called adult-onset) diabetes could be dramatically improved by diets that stepped beyond the usual regimens doctors often prescribed. And new research also has shown striking links between diet and Type 1 (or childhood-onset) diabetes. Fortunately, the most effective diet for people with diabetes isn t really a diet at all. It requires simple substitutions that are a breeze to make-once you know what to look for.
If you or someone you care about is facing diabetes, you will soon have powerful new tools at your disposal-many of which are as close as your supermarket-to make your life simpler. This book will provide you with a comprehensive, user-friendly guide to nutrition and fitness for people with diabetes, including the impact of diet on Type 1, Type
