What about breakfast with a High protein iced espresso coffee ripple with tofu? Or a Strawberry mojito, basil, lime and ginger as a pick me up. Kids love the Chickpea and corn fritters with bacon and avocado as a great start to the day.

Snacks include chicken nuggets — everyone's favourite — with crusted buckwheat to make a low GI snack. Salads abound with flavor combinations that have every taste bud jumping. Try Roasted cauliflower and haloumi salad with sumac, Rare tuna and kale salad with soy, beans and red quinoa or the classic Lemon chicken and power food salad.

Diabetics don't have to stop eating exciting food and Michael Moore ensures that the desserts are not left out. Of course he has a Not-so-naughty chocolate cake, that is

Low fat, low GI, high protein, low sugar chocolate cake - enough said! A low fat low sugar Cinnamon apple upside-down pudding is a winter warmer. Finishing with great sauces, pickles and preserves, Blood Sugar: The Family has everything you need to make your kitchen sing with health.

The book includes a major section on The Family Kitchen and The Family Pantry, with tips and ideas for substitutes to ensure you make a healthy choice of food each time.
