THE EVERYTHING GUIDE TO COOKING FOR CHILDREN WITH DIABETES

Dear Reader,

I can remember my first visit to a supermarket in the days just after my daughter had been diagnosed with Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes. So intimidating were the aisles, I actually sobbed in the middle of the popcorn and snacks section. Food, you see, had in my head become the enemy. Carbs lingered around every corner. Bad choices stared me down at every pass. How carefree the job of feeding my family had been B.D. (before diabetes), I thought.

The good news was I learned that in today's world, food is no longer the enemy, and with good planning, some smart cooking, and the support of a good medical team, my daughter's life didn't have to be dramatically changed. In fact, I realized, diabetes might help bring my entire family to a better place. If I could learn to prepare fun, interesting, and healthy meals that any child or family would love and benefit from, wouldn't that be a good thing? This book is an effort to help you, the parent of a child with diabetes, do just that.

I hope that if you are new to diabetes, this book will help you with some ideas that will keep that supermarket trip from being so upsetting. If you've been dealing with a child with diabetes for some time, I hope it opens up some new ideas to you.

I hope you'll try and enjoy the recipes in this book. I hope some of them become family traditions. I hope you encourage your child to learn to cook them along with you. Because one day, diabetes will be cured, but we'll all still need to eat healthy. Happy Cooking!

To Lauren and to all the kids with Type 1. May the cure come soon.

Acknowledgments

As always, I salute my daughter Lauren for the years and years of brave battle she's put up in the face of Type 1 diabetes; her sister and my daughter, Leigh, for being a good sport through it all; and my husband, Sean, for setting the healthy eating standard in our house. So, too, do I thank the many volunteers and staff of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International who give me hope and faith that one day, none of this will be necessary. In particular, I thank Heidi Daniels, Joana Casas, Bill Ahearn, Benita Shobe, Susan Sobers, Maryanne Jacobson, Cynthia Ford, Katie Clark, the Glass Family, the Bennett Family, Kristin Maresca, Jennifer Fishkind, Jessica Meltzer, Kassy Marsha Brady Helme, Andrea Hulke, Red and Marinda Maxwell, Renata Lanoix, and all those other great people who refuse to give up. Thanks also to Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and his amazing staff for being a friend, supporter, and inspiration all these years to Lauren. You've made a wonderful difference in her life. And a special thanks to my friend Anne D'Angelo and family. You were so supportive all the years I've had to deal with this. It breaks my heart to welcome you to this world, but together, we can find the cure. Go to www.jdrf.org to learn more.

Introduction

Once you get past the diabetes diagnosis and the needles and the shots and the finger pricks, it's the main thing on your mind:

How and what am I going to feed this child?

Common knowledge tells you that when it comes to diabetes, it's all about the food. And in a way, it is. After all, from here on in, you'll need to count and study every single carbohydrate your child ingests and make a medical decision on how much insulin needs to be matched with that.

That's daunting. But the good news is this: Kids with diabetes can eat almost exactly the same as all children should eat (emphasize should there, good parent). That wasn't always the case. As little as a decade ago, there was no such thing as rapid-acting insulin, and children with diabetes were forced to eat on a meal plan and schedule, eating the exact same amount of carbs at the exact same time, day in and day out, with nary a change in that schedule.

But today, with pumps and rapid-acting insulin and continuous glucose monitors to manage it all, kids with diabetes are free to explore food choices almost the same as all other children. Heading to a birthday party? You can absolutely let him have a slice of that cake (as long as you know his blood glucose-to-carb ratio and then give the insulin for that). Planning a party yourself? You can go the traditional route, or better yet, be creative and make the food at that party more healthy but just as enjoyable, proving to all the guests that healthy can be fun and delicious.
