Dedication

Ian:This book is dedicated to Dr. Steven Edelman who, with Sandra Bourdette, founded Taking Control of Your Diabetes (www.tcoyd.org), an organization "guided by the belief that every person with diabetes has the right to live a healthy, happy, and productive life." Steve's commitment, passion, energy, and selfless dedication, always mixed with humour and a spirit of fun, are inspirational. How great to be his friend; how wonderful to be a part of his organization.

Cynthia: This book is dedicated to people living with diabetes. My hope is that this book can make a difference in their lives by making meal time easier to plan and so much more enjoyable than they ever imagined. This is more than a cookbook; my hope is for people to gain some ingredients for success in their management towards a healthy life with diabetes.

Author's Acknowledgments

Ian: I would like to thank Hannah Draper and Lisa Berland for their editorial expertise, Pauline Ricablanca for her overseeing the book's development, and, as always, I am ever so grateful to have been able to once again work with the unflappable Robert Hickey.

I cannot possibly express my level of gratitude and appreciation for the boundless efforts and expertise that my co-author Cynthia Payne has brought to this book. Working with Cynthia to create this book has been a true pleasure. Cynthia; thank you so much!

Cynthia: I would like to thank my family and friends for being at my side and encouraging me through the process of this book's conception, development, and birth.

I need to thank my mother, Bonnie Payne, for helping me out with some of the cooking and recipe testing and for calming me down near deadline time. Thanks for always being there for me, Mom.

I would like to thank my children, Kristen and Jeffrey, for putting up with me as I worked weekends and evenings on this book. Kristen became the cleaning lady and Jeffrey the maintenance man, and I could not have survived without their help and their willingness to eat what was put in front of them.

Thank you to the many taste testers: my co-workers: Pam Bates, RN CDE; Doris Brunton, Jennifer Case, Melissa Geleynse, RD; Stephanie Ross, RN CDE NP; Angel Targon, RN; Debbie Bontje, RN CDE; Christine McCleary, RD CDE, and the other staff who just happened to be in the cafeteria or who were in their departments and were willing to sample a morsel when I passed through.

Other friends were honest taste testers: Debbie, Doug, Ryan and Alexis Smith; Betty Adams; Gill Kassela; Jolien Todd; Linda Redner-Hunter; Diane Dudnick; Joanne Cherry-Lauzon; Yvon Lauzon; Dave Hammond; Janet Harris, RD CDE; Marcey Wilson, RD; Don and Annette Ashfield; Pete Marrocco; Cathy McGinn; Elaine and Dave Trahair; and Jackie and Jim Hudson.

Many special thanks to my parents, my brothers and their families for letting me cook for them and being honest with the outcome: Bonnie and Ron Payne; Stephen, Cindy, Corrina, Kyle and Bradley Payne; and Greg, Roberta, Nicole and Stephanie Payne.

I appreciate the help of Christine McCleary, RD CDE; Pam Bates, RN CDE; Melissa Geleynse, RD; Janet Harris, RD CDE; Janice Stringham, RD CDE; and Grace Pineau, RD CDE, for their assistance in the information in some of the chapters - smart women!

I can not go any further without thanking Dr. Ian Blumer for giving me the opportunity to write this book with him and to learn from his patience, encouragement, brilliance and wisdom. Thanks to Marian Barltrop, RN CDE, for thinking of me when this opportunity arose. I met an amazing editor, Robert Hickey, who was so understanding, knowledgeable and...
