Some estimate that by the year 2050, 1 in 3 people in the United States may have diabetes. Chronic disease, like type 2 diabetes, can be caused by obesity, which is why eating healthy foods and exercising are an important part of a diabetic's lifestyle.

In addition to the large number of people who have diabetes, a great deal more have pre-diabetes and are in danger of developing diabetes. Yet there is hope. Studies show that people with pre-diabetes can cut their risk of developing full-blown diabetes in half by making small lifestyle changes.

The "EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook" helps those with diabetes and pre-diabetes fight the challenges that come with their health conditions. In addition to explaining the advantages of making healthy food, it provides information on how to manage the disease effectively. And it's not just a cookbook, readers will find diabetes facts, tips for using nutrition to manage diabetes, weekly menus, and food and exercise diaries.
