Diabetes-friendly recipes the whole family will eat

Diabetes-friendly cooking pairs carbohydrates with fibre, protein and healthy fats, and keeps added sugar low. These are everyday family meals built that way, so nobody else at the table feels like they are eating diet food.

What Gluten watches for: added sugar, sweet sauces and glazes, juice, and large portions of refined carbs.
