Ask any doctor or nutritionist who treats patients with diabetes: the first focus for controlling the disease is a healthy eating plan. But typical plans have been all about what you can't eat and what to do if you fall prey to a craving. Now a diabetic's day might start with a smoked salmon-and-dill omelet, continue to a lunch of three-bean chili, and finish with a dinner of grilled shrimp with a dessert of chocolate terrine. It's a kind of eating that virtually guarantees not just control of the disease and a satisfied appetite, but an emphasis on nutrients that target diabetes, beating back its potential side effects and maintaining a healthy weight. Dr. Howard Shapiro uses the same visual method of food comparisons that made his bestselling weight-loss books so popular and easy to use. Now he has teamed with top chef Franklin Becker, a diabetic, to reveal the secrets to a diet that can actually help you prevent and beat diabetes--without depriving yourself of delicious food.

Eat & Beat Diabetes with Picture Perfect Weight Loss
Chapter One
Nobody likes to pick up a book, open it to page 1 and get scared out of their wits.Well, we're not setting out to scare you, but we're here to tell you that there is a danger out there that you and your family need to be aware of.
You need to be aware of it because it has the potential to affect you and everyone you know-your spouse, your friends, your relatives, the people you work with and, above all, your children.
It's the sixth most potent killer of Americans, and 8 percent of us have it right now-including one of the authors of this book.
It's the leading cause of blindness, amputations and kidney failure.
It can triple our risk of heart attack and stroke, and it routinely damages sight, hearing, sleep, mental health and sexual performance.
It is the disease that can eat us alive.
It is diabetes, and it is stealing our health, our well-being, our longevity and our ability to enjoy our lives to the fullest.
Every day, another 2,200 Americans are diagnosed with this disease. It is projected that a third of the population born in 2005 will contract diabetes. It aflicts nearly a quarter of all Americans sixty and older.
If you're a woman who was diagnosed with diabetes before the age of forty, your life span is likely to be shortened by fourteen years. If you're a man, lop off eleven years.
Don't have the disease? Not yet, anyway. For in addition to the 24 million of us diagnosed with diabetes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that some 57 million people are prediabetic-with abnormal blood sugar levels-but don't know it.
