In this title, Dale investigates the explosion in diabetes and attempts to find out why and what you can do about it. The title is intended to help relieve both type- 1 and type-2 diabetes - using nutrition alongside conventional medicine - but, importantly, Dale believes diet alone can heal type-2 diabetes. In the first half of the book, Dale unpicks the physiology and anatomy of diabetes, showing how the modern diet causes insulin resistance and - ultimately - type-2 diabetes. But his mission is to correct that and, in the second half of the book, he provides the delicious tools to do so. A chart of low-GI foods will help you to get 'carb-smart'. Start the day with an Avocado and cheddar omelet with spicy salsa, or enjoy a speedy Chicken and lentil curry. Serve friends Tilapia fillets with pea, mint, and feta mash and tomato salad, or even try a low-GI Cheesecake for dessert. Learn Dale's secrets for yourself and successfully eat your way to avoiding - or relieving - diabetes.
The text part of the book was informative in a lay person kind of way, which was fine for me. But the recipes section was were the book failed me. There were few vegetarian recipes and close to no vegan ones. Studies have shown plant based eating has helped reverse type 2 diabetes and yet this book hardly explores that.
