Food you Love Healthy Twist Recipes from Diabetes UK

Getting people to enjoying their favourite food but with a healthy twist, is the aim of Diabetes UK during an awareness eight-week campaign the charity are running.

Food you Love, aims to get people both with and without diabetes to eat more healthily and keep their weight down.

Five popular recipes are being shared on their website as well as tips to help manage the condition.

There are more than 4.5 million people in the UK who have diabetes. Around a million people have Type 2 but aren’t even aware they have it.

Diabetes UK south west regional head Annika Palmer said: “Enjoying what you eat is one of life’s pleasures, but when it comes to healthy eating, sometimes we all need a bit of inspiration to get us started.

“Every day we get questions from people living with diabetes asking for advice from our experts about what they can or can’t eat. So we hope these tasty recipes for the food we love – but healthier – are a practical answer.”
