Most health experts agree that the UK is facing a huge increase in the number of people with diabetes. Including the number of undiagnosed people, there is estimated to be over 4.8 million people living with diabetes in the UK at present. There are estimates that more than 130 million adults are living with diabetes or prediabetes in the United States. Most of these cases will be Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes and happily this form of diabetes is controlled by diet and exercise. So understanding nutrition and diet is essential to maintaining your health as a non-insulin dependent diabetes sufferer. However because of our aging population and rapidly rising numbers of overweight and obese people among younger generations many diabetics today are either living alone or are a couple. So preparing meals using regular diabetic cookbooks which cater for four or more people can provide meals that are too big and wasteful.
