Diabetes Meal Planning and Nutrition for Dummies®

Whether you’re one of the millions struggling with diabetes and food, recently diagnosed, or interested in learning powerful diabetes self-management strategies for yourself, a loved one, or your patients Diabetes Meal Planning and Nutrition for Dummies® is for you.

Toby and Dr. Alan Rubin not only explain why healthy eating with diabetes is so crucial to your long-term health, but also explore how instinct, impulse, and a witch’s brew of brain chemistry make healthy eating such a challenge in modern societies. Most importantly, you’ll learn how planning ahead puts your powerful “thinking brain” in charge of your eating decisions, allowing your intention to eat healthy to become reality. And, in true Dummies style, you can skip ahead if you want to read only what’s important to you (although we hope you’ll come back and read what you missed).
