	Cooking It Up! Diabetes-Healthy Recipes Everyone Will Love
	Publication #: B-1277 Date Published: 07/01/2017 Publication Author(s): Melissa Bardsley Patti Griffith Vicki Hayman Josefina Ibarra

Description:
Over the years, we have learned the value of keeping the pleasure in eating, even when a chronic disease is involved. People with diabetes used to be told not to consume any sugar or sugar‑containing foods. We now know it is more important to incorporate foods you enjoy into meal plans than live with the message you can never eat them again. The nutrition and food safety team at University of Wyoming Extension encourages overall balance. If you want to consume a food high in carbohydrates, plan it into the meal. Don’t just “tack it on.”

Recipes for this cookbook were recommended by Wyoming cooks and extension educators and analyzed using Nutritionist Pro at the University of Wyoming. Four criteria guided our selections:

• Delicious taste
• No more than 45 grams of total carbohydrate per serving
• No more than 600 milligrams of sodium per serving
• Passes the finger counting test
