16 Myths of a "Diabetic Diet"

Can people with diabetes eat foods containing sugar? Can they eat the same foods as other members of their family? These questions and others like them are answered in 16 Myths of a "Diabetic Diet."

The book, written by Karen Chalmers, MS, RD CDE, Director of Nutrition Services at the Joslin Clinic, and Amy E. Peterson, MS, RD, CDE, explores the 16 most common misconceptions about a diabetic diet. The authors explain that, contrary to popular opinion, there really is no such thing as a "diabetic diet." People with diabetes can lead healthy lives while at the same time enjoying many of their favorite foods in moderation and as a part of an overall meal and exercise plan.
