Today, the prospects for people with diabetes are better than ever before. However, the condition still causes many adult deaths in the UK and, when poorly controlled, can cut up to 20 years from a diabetic person's life. But the good news is that healthy eating - alongside other lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medication - dramatically reduces the risk of diabetic complications such as heart disease, amputations and blindness. It also makes hypoglycaemic attacks caused by low blood sugar levels less likely, and might even prevent diabetes from developing. The Diabetes Healing Diet shows how a healthy, balanced diet can help you to avoid the worst ravages of this disease, including disability and the possibility of premature death.
 
Topics include:
- the pancreas and how it controls blood sugar
- types of diabetes 
- symptoms and complications
- risk factors
- medication
- changing your lifestyle
- controlling carbohydrates
- guidelines for healthy eating
- using supplements safely
