| Newgent’s inspiration for the cookbook was her father. She explains, “After my dad was diagnosed with diabetes, I wanted to be sure he had diabetes friendly recipes that were tasty and easy-to-follow. Finding no all-natural book that met the guidelines of the American Diabetes Association, I decided to write my own.” |
| |
| The American Diabetes Association is the largest publisher of consumer books for people with diabetes and of books about diabetes treatment for healthcare professionals. In the United States, 20.8 million people--7 percent of the population--have diabetes. While an estimated 14.6 million people have been diagnosed, unfortunately, 6.2 million people are unaware they have the disease. Founded in 1940, the American Diabetes Association is the nation’s leading voluntary health organization supporting diabetes research, information and advocacy. Its mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of people with diabetes. |
