Healthy, tasty food the whole family can enjoy.

Picture a child with a diabetes-restricted diet, and you'll understand the need for Canada's Best Cookbook for Kids with Diabetes. More than 250,000 children and teenagers in Canada, along with their families, are currently managing diabetes. As the incidence of Type 2 increases, this number will continue to grow.

This book has been developed to help parents of children with diabetes provide delicious and nutritious kid-friendly food that the whole family can enjoy. Whether it's Chocolate and Strawberry Waffles, Spaghetti and Meatballs or Peanut Butter Chip Muffins, these are recipes that kids will enjoy and parents feel confident in serving. All the recipes help to deliver the supervised diet that children with diabetes require without making them feel deprived or left out.

More than 125 recipes provide outstanding meal ideas for everything from after-school snacks to main meal and desserts. Each recipe includes a complete nutritional breakdown and has been extensively reviewed by top diabetes educators.
