Bio:

Colleen Bartley's teenage daughter has diabetes. While running a catering business, Colleen came up with the idea of a cookbook for kids with diabetes. With input from a dietitian as well as her daughter, she has combined her love of cooking with her practical experience in preparing meals for a family. She lives in Sechelt, British Columbia.

Preface:

Introduction

The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, estimates that there are presently over 20 million North Americans living with diabetes. Up to a third of these people may not have been diagnosed. Types 1 and 2 are the most common types of diabetes. Type 1 accounts for about 10 percent of all new diagnoses; the remaining 90 percent are primarily individuals with type 2 diabetes. The majority of individuals with type 1 diabetes are diagnosed during their young childhood, in their teen years or as young adults. Those with type 2 diabetes are usually diagnosed as adults over the age of 40, but in the past few years children and adolescents have also been developing type 2 diabetes. There has been a 10- to 30-fold increase in the number of children with type 2 diabetes in the past 10 to 15 years. With growing obesity rates among youth, this trend is likely to continue.

In managing diabetes, the goal is to keep blood glucose levels within the target range recommended by a diabetes health care team (a physician, nurse, dietitian and other professionals involved in diabetes management).

Type 1 diabetes is managed with an individualized meal plan (based on food choices or carbohydrate counting), regular physical activity and insulin, delivered either by injection or pump therapy. Type 2 diabetes is managed with a meal plan that distributes carbohydrate foods throughout the day, encourages weight management and regular physical activity and sometimes requires the use of oral medications and/or insulin.

Whatever type of diabetes is present, regular daily monitoring of blood glucose levels to achieve the target ranges recommended by the diabetes health care team is essential.

The recipes in this cookbook provide nutritional information on such nutrients as carbohydrate, protein, fat and fiber to allow parents and their children to choose foods that fit into their meal plan. This goes a long way toward helping you achieve good blood glucose control.

Since most of the recipes are low in added sugar and fat, they can be enjoyed by any family members -- siblings, parents, grandparents or extended family -- who want to make healthier food choices, whether they have diabetes or not.

When children are young, many families eat simple, child-friendly foods. The recipes in this cookbook have been taste-tested by children and teens, as well as by their parents, relatives and friends. The dishes are tasty, nutritious and easy to make. Many recipes are so simple that a child can prepare them, while others require adult guidance. It is my belief that, when children and teens are encouraged to help in the kitchen and are involved in food preparation, they have more interest in food, nutrition and meal planning. They may also develop an interest in cooking -- an excellent skill to have!

If teens can fend for themselves in the kitchen, parents can be confident that they will be prepared when it comes time for them to move out or go to college.
