Diabetic Cooking for Seniors or Best Summer Weekends Cookbook

Diabetic Cooking for Seniors

Author: Kathleen Stanley

An innovative cookbook for older people with diabetes

As people get older, their dietary needs and physical abilities change. This book addresses issues such as decreased sense of taste, difficulty in meal preparation due to arthritis, the need for more fiber, and food-drug interactions with a straightforward problem/solution approach. Quick, easy-to-prepare recipes with five or fewer ingredients arranged in specific categories such as low-sodium dishes, foods with more fiber, and low-cholesterol meals are key in this innovative new book.

Kathleen Stanley, C.D.E., R.D., L.D., M.S.Ed., is a diabetes educator at Saint Joseph Hospital (Lexington, KY). She is the author of numerous articles, including articles for the American Diabetes Association’s Diabetes Forecast magazine, and she is coauthor of Quick and Easy Diabetic Recipes for One.
