November is Diabetes Awareness Month. Today over 156 million adults and children have diabetes or are prediabetic. Obesity increases the risk of diabetes (as well as heart disease, stroke and a number of cancers) and my guests this week both address the topic of healthy eating to manage your weight.
Linda Gassenheimer is a best-selling cookbook author who has written three new books to help people with diabetes cook and eat healthier : No-Fuss Diabetes Desserts, Simply Smoothies: Fresh & Fast Diabetes-Friendly Snacks & Complete Meals, Fast and Flavorful: Great Diabetes Meals from Market to Table.
Linda and I will discuss the myths and realities of diabetes to help you stop the progression towards diabetes through healthier food shopping, snacking and meal preparation.
Linda writes the Miami Herald “Dinner in Minutes” column distributed on the McClatchy Wire Service to over 6 million readers each week.
