I'm learning more about diabetes lately. Dd12 was to pick a disease and pretend she had been commissioned by a government agency to write an informative brochure about it. One of the main requirements is that the back page of the brochure has to be a bibliography, and, of course, we have diabetes books right on the shelf lately. So she was set.
She found the clearest general explanations from Dr. Neal Barnard in "Program for Reversing Diabetes" (2007), so will probably use his book a lot. I notice, btw, that for quick meals he highly recommends low-fat vegetarian soups, especially Tabatchnick, Amy and Health Valley brands. I am used to seeing these as canned products. He says he especially thinks keeping the frozen ones on hand is smart. He is certainly the "anti-Atkins", very concerned about fat intake and critical of dairy.
