Diabetes Mellitus - Young Adults

Abstract

Growing up the son of a professional hockey player - Tie Domi - Max saw from an early age what it took to make the NHL: grit, talent, and the support of a team. Over countless hours in the garage, at the rink, and in the gym, Max chased his dream. It seemed that Max was born to be on the ice.

But then, when he was twelve years old, Max started getting sick. And sicker. Eventually, he and his family learned the truth: Max had type 1 diabetes.

Overnight, Max and his family found their lives upended. All Max wanted was to be a normal kid, but suddenly, the simplest things - a game of basketball with friends, a family meal, a school field trip - were complicated with a thousand different considerations.

As he struggled to find his new normal, Max slowly began to realize that overcoming his disease demanded the same qualities that it took to be a hockey player - mental and physical toughness, maturity, and the love and care of family and friends. Bit by bit, he learned - sometimes the hard way - not just to control his diabetes, but to turn it into an advantage. If managing his disease was going to demand that Max be stronger, more prepared, and more disciplined than anyone else, then he wouldn't just be good at those things: he'd be the best. He'd do whatever it took to move him closer to his dream of playing in the NHL.

Diabetes Mellitus-Diet

Abstract

Traditional and classic recipes that will be enjoyed by anyone who is affected by or is managing diabetes.

These recipes are not only delicious and suitable for individuals managing diabetes, they can also be enjoyed by the whole family. Home cooks often feel they must prepare separate meals for individuals with diabetes because of diabetics' many dietary restrictions. Using the American exchanges-per-serving information in this book, it's easy to prepare dishes that will satisfy everyone and that also comply with the limitations of a diabetic diet.

Zeiler uses readily available ingredients and includes old family favorites along with other food ideas, many with new and slightly different twists. She emphasizes quick and easy-to-prepare dishes that are ideally suited to today's busy lifestyle.

There are recipes for every meal and every occasion, including menus that make meal planning even easier. The recipes include:

- Appetizers

- Beverages

- Sauces and other basics

- Soups and salads

- Vegetables and side dishes

- Meat, fish and poultry

- One-dish meals

- Meatless dishes

- Breads, muffins and cookies

- Desserts

- Preserves and pickles

Each recipe has also been kitchen-tested to meet the Canadian Diabetes Association's very high standards of quality and appeal.

Diabetes

Abstract

A new edition of Karen Graham's cookbook is a companion to Diabetes Essentials and Complete Diabetes Guide. This new edition has been written with MD and Endocrinologist Mansur Shomali, and includes updated recipes based on new research and best practices. Recent CDC reports indicate that over 30 million Americans have diabetes and another 84 million have prediabetes. In this book, Karen Graham and Dr. Shomali explain that carefully planned, nutritious meals and sensible portion sizes are an essential part of diabetes and weight management.

This book gives step-by-step instructions for putting this advice into action. It includes life-size portions of meals and snacks. The "Eat This-Not That" section compares common foods and beverages to help you choose between them. The weight loss guide has daily meal plans from 1,200 to 2,200 calories. And all the meals list carbohydrates and so can be used by people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

This meal planning guide includes balanced options for every meal of the day along with pairing advice and nutritional analysis. While one might assume that a meal supporting diabetes management might not be very tasty, Karen Graham's home-tested recipes show you that this is far from the truth. Some of the 100 delicious recipes include Poppy Seed Spinach Salad, Quesadilla, Hamburger Soup, Roti with Curried Filling, Thai Chicken, Shrimp Linguini, Crustless Pumpkin Pie and Banana Bread.

Karen Graham's diabetes books are market-leading and have sold over a quarter million copies across all titles and editions. She has an easy-to-understand approach and has devoted her career to helping those with diabetes improve their lives. Her collaboration with Dr. Shomali on this new Health and Wellness Series brings his leading-edge expertise as a physician and endocrinologist, professor of medicine and researcher.

Abstract

This book challenges the conventional belief that parents must get overweight children to eat less and exercise more. In the long run, she says, making them go hungry and forcing them to be active makes children preoccupied with food, prone to overeating, turned off to activity, and likely to gain too much weight. Instead, it states that, "to resolve the problem of child overweight, we must do the opposite of what seems right. We must feed children rather than depriving them."
