Book excerpt: The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook, previously published in hardcover as The Everyday Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook (0-517-70848-5/14,000), presents more than 200 great recipes and the first comprehensive introduction to the new Carbohydrate Counting System.For the 14,000,000 diabetics in this country, it's hard enough to create meals every day that maintain steady blood sugar levels, much less ones that are varied and appealing. In The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook, Mary Donkersloot takes the hassle out of managing diabetes and presents a clear, straightforward low-fat eating plan that anyone could benefit from, supplemented with more than 200 delicious recipes.As a registered dietitian and a trained chef, Mary utlizes a recent breakthrough in diabetes research endorsed by the American Diabetes Association: the amount of carbohydrates, rather than the source, seems to be the key factor in determining blood sugar levels. Following a foreword written by Gerald Bernstein, President of theADA, Mary explains the latest findings on diabetes, and applies a system called Carbohydrate Counting, to help diabetics control their disease.
