Lara Rondinelli-Hamilton

So much has changed since we wrote the first edition of Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking in 2004. First, nutrition recommendations and products have changed. All Americans are encouraged to increase their fiber intake and make half their grains whole grains, so this means that we have more of these products available to choose from at the grocery store. Lower-carbohydrate versions of many foods are now available, and the good news is that many of these products taste great! We felt these changes needed to be incorporated into this new edition for better nutrition and improved food choices.

My personal life has changed dramatically since 2004. In February 2007, I was biopsy-diagnosed with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the digestive process of the small intestine. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), the persons immune system responds by attacking the small intestine (specifically the villi of the intestines) and inhibits the absorption of nutrients into the body. Celiac disease is associated with other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes and thyroid disease. An estimated 10% of people with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. If celiac disease is undiagnosed and untreated, it can lead to other diseases.

People with celiac disease must avoid gluten. Foods that contain gluten include anything with flour, such as bread, pasta, waffles, cookies, and cakes, but its also hidden in other foods, such as soy sauce, salad dressings, some canned broth, and many more foods. My life changed with this diagnosis, as I now have to follow a strict gluten-free diet.

Because people with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of developing celiac disease and its estimated that 10% of people with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease, we decided to include some gluten-free tips and recipes in this cookbook too.

In addition to that big change, I have a family now that includes my husband and two children under the age of three. Quick and healthy meals have never been more important to me, since time is limited like never before. I understand that most people dont have a lot of time to get meals on the table. I always encourage the whole family to eat healthy together, so the recipes in this cookbook are not ONLY intended for the person with diabetes, but for the entire family and anyone looking to eat quick, healthy, and delicious food!

We felt it necessary to also incorporate new recipes that focus on updated dietary recommendations and that appeal to a wider audience of people who are not only eating for diabetes but also for general good health. I am actually one of those people. I do not have diabetes but for the last 20 years I have struggled with a weight problem. Being a chef who specializes in cooking and creating recipes for people with diabetes, it has always been a front-and-center issue for me that I needed to focus on my health, too. For the last year or so, Ive been on a weight-loss journey, eating healthy (making recipes out of Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking as well as our other book, The Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook), working out, and seeking therapy to deal with my food issues. Ive lost 60 pounds and continue to pursue good health and fitness. I have become an avid runner in this process and have received a whole new lease on life.

Im so thrilled to share my weight-loss journey with you and others who come see us at cooking demonstrations. In the last eight years, Ive also gotten married and continue to work as a faculty member teaching futures chefs. I am on a mission to educate them on how to bring healthy options to the public as they pursue their careers in food service.

Thank you to all of you who supported the first edition of Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking. We were overwhelmed by the positive response to that cookbook and are grateful that so many of you spread the word to your friends and family. The biggest compliment we receive is that people actually use this cookbook and its not just sitting on the shelf!

Thank you to the efforts of many people at the American Diabetes Association. Big thanks to Abe Ogden, Director of Book Publishing, for allowing us to do this updated editionyou are a true professional and have been great to work with. Thank you to Greg Guthrie for all your time, work, and dedication to this project. Big thanks to Lyn Wheeler for your hours of work on the nutrition analysis (and for taking our calls at any time of night). We were thrilled to work with you again.
