PER SERVING : Each recipe is analyzed for calories, total fat, saturated ( SAT ) and monounsaturated ( MONO ) fat, cholesterol, carbohydrate, protein, fiber and sodium. We used Food Processor software (ESHA Research), version 8.4, for analyses. When a recipe states a measure of salt or to taste, we analyze the measured quantity. (Readers on sodium-restricted diets can reduce or eliminate the salt.) Butter is analyzed as unsalted. We do not include trimmings or marinade that is not absorbed. When alternative ingredients are listed, we analyze for the first one suggested.
Optional ingredients and garnishes are not analyzed. Portion sizes noted are consistent with healthy-eating guidelines. C ARBOHYDRATE S ERVINGS : Each recipe is given a Carbohydrate Servings value based on the Carbohydrate-Servings explained. These values are based on the given recipes carbohydrate analysis, without the use of alternative low-or no-calorie sweeteners. If a sweetener alternative is suggested, a second analysis of calories and carbohydrate is given below the main analysis. E XCHANGES : Diabetic exchanges, calculated by a Registered Dietitian, are based on the current Diabetic Exchanges of the American Diabetes Association.
For more information on diabetic exchanges, consult the listed. I CONS : This icon highlights quick & easy recipes that are ready to eat in 45 minutes or less. High Fiber This icon indicates that the recipe provides 5 grams or more of fiber per serving. As explained in Food Matters: Eating to Manage Diabetes, the carbohydrate count for such recipes can be reduced by the grams of fiber to yield the carbohydrate number that is used to determine Carbohydrate Servings.

F OREWORD
The Power of Knowledge I f you, a family member or a friend has diabetes, you know there is a lot to learn about how to manage it successfully. You also know that lifestyle is important.
Of course making healthy food choices and being physically active is a goal for everyone, but this is especially true for individuals who have diabetes. But sometimes you read and receive conflicting advice about where and how to start making changes. As a decades-long Certified Diabetes Educator and Registered Dietitian, I have found there are three major questions that people with diabetes want answered: What is healthy eating for people with diabetes? How does healthy eating integrate into diabetes management? How do I know if the lifestyle changes I make are helpful? Healthy Eating for Diabetes Basic to either the management or prevention of diabetes is optimal nutrition through healthy food choices and an active lifestyle. Although studies often focus on the role of a single nutrient, such as carbohydrate or fat, emerging research shows that no one nutrient, food or food group by itself has priority over any other. Instead it is the pattern of eating that is important. This means that a healthy diet includes a mixture of foods containing multiple nutrients.
Although a low-carbohydrate diet is often promoted as a popular approach to managing diabetes, research actually supports the importance of eating healthy carbohydrate-containing foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat milk. A healthy diet also includes low-fat protein sources, such as fish, poultry, lean meats or vegetable proteins. Healthy fats are also advised: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, such as olive or canola oil, and nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, are good sources. A low-to moderate-fat diet, but low in saturated fats and food cholesterol, is recommended.
