It is estimated that at least three percent of our South African population suffers from diabetes. Eating a proper, balanced diet is important for diabetics and non-diabetics. The diabetic diet is fundamentally a healthy one, high in complex carbohydratesand dietary fibre, low in fat. The Complete Diabetics' Cookbook contains all the necessary information and shows a check list with each recipe. It is also the ideal guide for slimmers and weight-watchers and is recommended by the Diabetes Association of South Africa.

"The lay-out, advice, scientific approach and gourmet touches to the recipes showed me that Wendy Silver’s book is not a simple collection of recipes but an educational experience. Full of varied and interesting ideas, it will add understanding and confidence and make life easier in meeting the individual’s particular needs and in improving the eating habits of family and friends.

People with diabetics do not eat ‘special’ foods. Which one of us, wishing to eat well and stay healthy, can afford not to follow advice based on the latest scientific knowledge?

Healthy eating is for everyone!"
