That is a different theory from years past, when diabetics were warned to avoid refined sugar at all costs. The new thinking on nutrition for diabetics is that portion control of all foods, not just abstinence from sugar, is a key element to controlling the disease. The candy bar, birthday cake and doughnut can still have a place in your life, but if you embrace the idea that food is fuel, you may not want to fill your tank with those types of carbohydrates. Cookbooks for diabetics Several new cookbooks focus on cooking for the diabetic. Be careful that you don't buy a cookbook that has been guided by old research.
Most diabetics can eat anything as long as the portions are controlled.
If your favorite bookstore doesn't stock a book you want, ask a salesperson to order it for you.
