Diabetic Recipes Available From Extension

The last issue of For Your Information mentioned that Extension has revised the recipes on their diabetes website. Here is the article. Thought this might be of interest to those who have diabetes themselves or must help others deal with it.

REVISED RECIPES FOR DIABETES WEBSITE (FYI 11-09)
A newly revised version of Recipes for Diabetes website has been launched. Today 25.8 million children and adults in the U.S. -- or 8.3% of the population -- have diabetes. Because of the high incidence of this disease, U of I Extension offers this website with a variety of recipes with nutritional analysis for people with diabetes.

More than 80 photographs have been added that show what each dish looks like.

Please share this site with diabetes counselors, people with diabetes and their caregivers. The site was developed by Karen Chapman-Novakofski (Extension Specialist, Foods and Nutrition.

You can visit the site at http://urbanext.illinois.edu/diabetesrecipes/
