Chef Chris Smith, The Diabetic Chef, was 24 years old, a student at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York and working at Manhattan's four-star Le Cirque restaurant when he began having symptoms of Diabetes type 1. Thinking he was simply over-worked, he soon learned that he was in grave danger and he knew he had to make some serious lifestyle choices.

Like so many others what it came down to was achieving a healthy lifestyle through insulin management, exercise and proper diet. For so many people being told to go on a restrictive diet is like being told they can never again eat food they enjoy or eat a regular meal with their family. During this show, Chef Chris explains how this is a fallacy and how he has created some fantastic cookbooks that offer recipes that are diabetic friendly without giving up taste OR desserts!!

For cooking tips, more information about Chef Chris (www.diabeticchef.com) and the 3 free recipes he so graciously gave us, please listen to the show and check out my blog!
