Four out of five of the world's largest diabetic populations are Indian. Of the 1.4 million people in the UK with diabetes, over 500,000 are Indian. Diabetes is becoming epidemic within these populations, yet there's a dire shortage of advice on the cause and management of this condition. This book will offer much-needed health and dietary recommendations that take into account cultural backgrounds and eating habits, demonstrating how to reduce the high levels of fat traditionally used in home cooking as well as how to make lifestyle changes that will help manage the condition. It also offers advice for the whole family, to help prevent diabetes in the younger generation.
