Jenefer Roberts is the wife of a Type 2 diabetic who grew frustrated at not being able to answer her husband's questions: 'Can I eat that?' and 'Why can't I eat that?'. Unable to find clear, accessible and consistent advice on what foods she could cook for her husband, she made use of her background as an academic and began a programme of extensive research on the subject herself. As a result she has helped him manage his condition through his diet and has written this book to help others faced with the same situation.
