Cookbook Dawn Hall To my friend, Nancy Roach, for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration, I dedicate this book. Her gentle spirit, sweet smile, and kindness towards others, despite her daily challenges with diabetes, are an inspiration to me.

He has richly blessed me with the gifts and talents it takes to put a cookbook together. Id be a fool to take credit for the creative ideas He gives me. I know it is He who gets all the praise and glory for each and every one of the great and wonderful things that happen through me. Next, I am deeply grateful to those who helped me successfully create this book. I could not have done it alone. Dr. Dr.

Thomas Knecht, youre not only an excellent doctor who specializes in diabetes, but you also live with diabetes. That is why you were my choice to write the foreword for this cookbook. I am honored to have your support and contribution to this cookbook. Thank you! To my family, friends and personal assistants who continue being my taste testers, trying new ideas day in and day out without ever complaining, I give special thanks. Your brutal honesty motivates me to strive for the finest tasting recipes I can produce. Thank you for giving me the pat on the back for new recipes well done and a kick in the pants when you think I should go back to the kitchen and try again.

To Tammi Hancock, the registered dietician with over fifteen years experience who analyzed each and every recipe with perfection, much thanks for your feedback, insight and professional opinion on the recipes. I deeply appreciate all of your hard work each step of the way. Many thanks! My Literary Agent, Coleen O Shea, to whom I am forever grateful, thank you for being a better literary assistant than I could ever have hoped for, dreamed of, or imagined. You are a gem in my treasure chest of life. I will be forever grateful to JoAnna Lund, of Healthy Exchanges Cookbooks for introducing us to each other. Brenda Crosser, my recipe-tester assistant, gets full credit for her creative ideas that were very good and inspired me to create more.

To Geoff Stone, my editor, who has a sharp eye for detail, thank you for polishing my work so it shines bright, crisp, and clean. To Larry Stone, the publisher of Rutledge Hill Press, thank you for keeping the lines of communication open with me. Not all authors are as fortunate as I am to have such a great publisher. I want you to know I appreciate you. To Bryan Curtis and Laura Troop, thank you for your marketing and publicity work in spreading the word. Last but not least, I personally want to let you, the reader, know how incredibly grateful I am for letting your friends, family, and coworkers know how much you love using my cookbooks and how delicious the recipes taste.

Word of mouth has been selling my Busy Peoples cookbooks like hotcakes because of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May God bless you always in all ways! I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in the 1970s when I was in college. My mom, who was a nurse, and my dad (who had no medical background, but was a brilliant guy) visited me for a weekend, saw that I was very sick, and said, Tom, see a doctor! I did and was directly admitted to the hospital. This was before blood glucose testing, and I was first trained to use tablets to test glucose in urine. In retrospect, what a waste of time and resources! I was given instruction in diet, which at the time emphasized more a relationship to blood sugar than to overall healththe dark ages in diabetes management! Things have come a long way since then. I actually have had the opportunity to live many of the advances that let us manage diabetes as successfully as we can today.

I now use multiple meters, stationed in key locations (kitchen, office, brief case, wifes purse, clinic, and others) that give me the blood glucose result in five to fifteen seconds (depending on the meter) using a tiny drop of blood. As an aggressive type 1 who wants excellent control with minimal serious hypoglycemia, I average about ten tests per day every day, and even more under certain circumstances. You have this book in your hands, so likely you have diabetes or know someone very well who does. Type 1 diabetes (which usually occurs before adulthood), is an autoimmune disorder, which nothing can preventyou stop producing the insulin that lets you use the food you eat, and must inject insulin daily. In type 2 diabetes, you still make insulin to some degree, but for various reasons it isn't adequate. The cause of this type of diabetes is multifactorial and still somewhat elusive, but can be influenced by how you eat, exercise, and other factors.
