糖尿病是一种复杂的疾病，可由多种因素共同导致，无论是遗传因素，生活方式还是营养因素。世界卫生组织估计，全世界的糖尿病患者人数已从1980年的1.08亿增加到2014年的4.22亿。 1980年，有4.7％的成年人患有糖尿病，但到2014年，这一数字已跃升至8.5％，并且还在继续上升。这是我们许多人今天可能面临的风险。

除了定期运动外，健康均衡的饮食对于避免2型糖尿病的发作和维持已经被诊断为糖尿病的人的健康血糖水平起着重要作用，这就是本书的目的。《糖尿病食物》是我们精美的烹饪书系列的最新作品，它将带您了解所有需要了解的内容，包括什么是糖尿病，什么原因引起的糖尿病，可以采取哪些步骤避免或接受这种疾病以及如何获得健康的饮食以获取营养、福祉和口味，然后是令人垂涎的早餐，午餐，晚餐，小吃和甜点食谱。本书并不是要完全砍掉零食或购买所谓的糖尿病食物，所以为什么不尝试一下美味的Smoothie Breakfast Bowl，美味的Hearty Beef Stew或一些诱人的布朗尼蛋糕，这些菜谱都配有鼓舞人心的摄影作品。

Diabetes is a complex disorder that can be caused by several factors, often in combination, whether genetics, physical lifestyle or nutrition. The World Health Organization estimates that the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 worldwide. In 1980, 4.7% of adults had diabetes, but by 2014 that figure had jumped to 8.5% and it continues to rise. It’s a risk many of us potentially face today. Along with regular exercise, a healthy balanced diet can play a major part in avoiding the onset of type 2 diabetes and in maintaining healthy blood glucose levels for those already diagnosed with diabetes, and that’s where this book comes in. The latest in our gorgeous series of cookbooks, Food for Diabetes will take you through everything you need to know, including what diabetes is, what causes it, what steps you can take to avoid or live with the condition and how to achieve a healthy diet for nutrition, wellbeing and taste, followed by mouthwatering recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and desserts. It’s not about cutting out treats completely or buying so-called ‘diabetic’ foods, so why not try a delicious Smoothie Breakfast Bowl, virtuous Hearty Beef Stew or some deceptively decadent Rich Brownies, all accompanied by inspirational photography.
