Holly is an expert on creating simple, healthy meals that taste good and don’t require a lot of extra effort. Trim & Terrific Diabetic Cooking has more than 250 such recipes that can help diabetics manage their disease, and also help those who are at-risk or simply wish to eat healthfully.

The ADA reports that 9.7 million, or 8.8% of American women aged 20 years or older have diabetes. Nearly one third of these women do not know it (www.diabetes.org).  

This debilitating disease can lead to heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, amputation and even death. The good news is that a healthy diet, along with increased physical activity, can reduce the severity diabetes and even reverse the course of pre-diabetes. Women need to understand the risk that diabetes poses and what they can do to prevent this disease.
