A Taste of Food as Medicine for Diabetes

Diabetes is the fastest-growing disease in most countries around the world, including Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Since 2000, diabetes diagnoses have tripled in Australia. But there is good news: most cases of Type 2 Diabetes are preventable and many diagnoses are reversible.

This cookbook was award “Best in the World” in the category for cookbooks by health professions at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in June 2025.
