Tell Me What to Eat If I Have
Diabetes
People with diabetes are very familiar with being told what
foods they cannot eat. Instead of adding another voice to
the chorus, Elaine Magee, MPH, RD, gives readers positive
advice about what foods they should be getting everyday in
her book Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes (Career Press,October
1999). Elaine begins with an overview of diabetes, specifically
Type II, giving readers a detailed and understandable picture
of the physiological causes and the dietary implications of
diabetes. Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes gives you
the latest medical information, recipes you can't live without,
and recommends how to navigate the supermarket to find the
best foods appropriate to your situation.

Diabetes doesn't affect just the person with it. It touches
family, friends, and coworkers as well. Without solid information,
often those who care for someone with diabetes find the psychological,
psychosocial, and financial challenges of the disease confusing,
stressful, and even frightening. Here, finally is a clear,
sensitive, and informative guide that tells you what diabetes
is and how to cope with it on a daily basis.
Drawing on her personal experience with family members with

your loved one manage low blood glucose and get through periods
of illness, how to prepare healthy meals and plan special
events with confidence, and how to create positive work and
home environments for both the person with diabetes and the
family.
In addition, this book offers practical, reassuring advice
on the important emotional aspects that can affect you, from
understanding how you’re feeling to coping better with the
day-to-day challenges of living or working with someone who
has a chronic disease. Written in an easy-to-grasp question-and-answer
format and filled with informative sidebars, easy-to-prepare
menus, and invaluable tips, The Family and Friends’ Guide

a difference in the lives of all those around you.

Alternative & Complementary
Diabetes Care
How to Combine Natural and Traditional Therapies
If you or a loved one are one of the millions of people diagnosed
with Type 1 or 2 diabetes, you may have wondered how your
medication interacts with a particular herb or vitamin…or
what happens to your blood glucose levels when you perspire
profusely in a Jacuzzi…or if too little fat in your diet is
as bad for your health as too much fat.
The latest medical research provides illuminating answers
to these and many other pertinent questions about the best
way to treat diabetes. But with more options available than
ever before, how can you know which ones will work best for
you?
Now Diana Guthrie paves the way to responsible decision-making
by integrating conventional medicine and holistic healing
to promote health and alleviate many of the symptoms associated
with diabetes. As Guthrie explains, improving your physical,
emotional, intellectual, and spiritual responses to stress
can significantly enhance your immune system. By coupling
your tried-and-true treatment with the basic components of
an alternative approach – positive thinking, assertiveness,
relaxation, exercise, nutrition, and touch – you can improve
your health and control your blood glucose levels.

By mapping out the elements of a full, balanced health program,
Alternative and Complementary Diabetes Care promotes a responsible,
holistic approach to diabetes without suggesting that traditional
management practices be replaced. With this informative guide,
learn how to help your health professional to help you.
Diana W. Guthrie, Ph.D., F.A.A.N., C.D.E., a pioneer in the
field of diabetes, was trained in both traditional and nontraditional
care. A recently retired professor at the University of Kansas
School of Medicine, she is certified in holistic nursing,

education. She is a recipient of the American Diabetes Association’s
