Leading diabetes educator and dietitian Janis Roszler breaks new ground in Diabetes on Your Own Terms. This is the first book to underscore for everyone living with diabetes that managing diabetes doesn’t have to equate to deprivation. A case in point is when Douglas Cairns, a flight instructor with the Royal British air force, was diagnosed with diabetes and lost use of his pilot’s license. For the next several years, diabetes ran his life. Douglas had to find a new profession and spent a good deal of his time fighting blood sugar highs and lows. Then he heard that the U.S. allows individuals with diabetes to fly as long as their diabetes is well-controlled. Douglas now had a goal and a chance to reclaim the activity he loved. He took control of his diabetes by setting realistic goals, attained an American license, and recently became the first person with diabetes to fly solo around the world.
Janis Roszler is here to advise how not to let diabetes prevent you from having the life you want; to not accept NO for an answer, and let diabetes get you down. Like Douglas, you can set realistic goals and soar!

The most popular myth associated with diabetes is that those diagnosed cannot eat any sugar – at all. The belief is that they are only able to eat specially formulated diabetic foods, yet this is simply not true. There may be special diabetic recipes, but they do include sugar. The truth is that diabetics most importantly need to follow a balanced diet.There are no foods that are completely off-limits to diabetics, so long as they are careful to eat in moderation. Often, sugar-free alternatives will not be the best option where they contain other ingredients that are equally, if not more, unhealthy than the sugars. The best way to start planning for sugar in your meals is to meet with a doctor to discuss your diet.Once you have been given some advice on diet, you can start to look at your own cooking to make sure that the level of sugar contained in each meal is suitable. In many cases the recipes contained in traditional cookbooks will not be so careful to monitor the amount of sugar contained within sauces and other food. Sometimes it is possible to cut the sugar out of a normal recipe completely, but you may also want to try using specially adapted diabetic recipes.By using diabetic recipes you can ensure that the sugar levels will not be too high. It also eliminates the problem of worrying whether the other ingredients are safe for your diabetic diet, as all the work is done for you.
The important thing to remember is that you can still eat foods containing sugar, so long as you keep a watch over what you eat.
