And if you do find a recipe that’s more elaborate than the rest, you can trust that it was worth slipping it in with the rest of the recipes. Who knows, you might want to cook for that special someone one of these days.

The Easy Diabetes Diet Plan Cookbook – Diabetes and Alcohol
The one thing you can’t have though is alcohol, even if you’re hanging out with your best friends. Alcohol is a big no-no for those who have diabetes because it can actually lead to both hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.
In the initial stages of drinking alcohol, the glucose levels in your blood will rise. But once you’ve taken in an excessive amount – which, for diabetics, is a mere one to two cans of beer – your blood sugar will actually drop, causing a hypoglycaemic attack.
Alcohol also poses an added danger because it interferes with both injectable insulin and oral medication for diabetes.

The Easy Diabetes Diet Plan Cookbook – Measuring Cups and Spoons
A good and healthy meal hinges on proper portioning and you need to measure out practically everything to make sure you’re not overeating.
The cups are for measuring juice and other beverages and you can even use them to measure food as well (though I would recommend the digital scale). You will need the measuring spoons for seasoning and for spices.
