It is just you now, or just the two of you. You have diabetes. And every slow cooker recipe you own makes six servings, with no idea how many carbs are in a bowl.

This book was written to fix exactly that.

The Diabetic 2-Quart Mini Slow Cooker Cookbook gives you 75 small-batch recipes written for a 2-quart slow cooker from the very first ingredient. Not big recipes cut in half and left to chance. Every pot cooks for one or two, every serving has its carbohydrate counted, and every batch is planned as dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. You cook once, you eat twice, and you never have to guess.

WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT

- The Carb Budget line on every recipe: grams of carbohydrate per serving, plus the share of a 30 g, 45 g and 60 g example meal, so you see at a glance how a dish fits the number your care team gave you.
n- Tomorrow's Lunch on every recipe: how to store, reheat and pack the second serving, so nothing goes sour at the back of the fridge.
n- A fill check on every recipe, so your small cooker sits in the safe half-to-two-thirds zone every single time.
n- A full nutrition panel with carbohydrate first, then fibre, protein, fat, saturated fat, sodium and calories.
n- A plate suggestion built on the half-vegetables, quarter-protein, quarter-carbohydrate plate, with the grams for anything it adds.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR

You live alone and you are tired of eating the same pot of stew for five days. You and your spouse have downsized and still want a proper hot dinner. You work, and you want tonight's dinner to become tomorrow's lunch box without extra cooking. Or you were diagnosed recently and the word carbohydrate still feels like homework. If any of that is you, this book was written with you in mind.

The food is everyday American home cooking: chili, chicken thighs, pot roast, bean soups, egg bakes and fruit desserts. Food you already know. What changes is the size of the pot and the numbers under every recipe.

This is a cookbook, not medical advice. Your carbohydrate targets come from your own care team, and every page respects that.

Cook the right amount. Count what is on the plate. Plan tomorrow's lunch before you lift the lid. Scroll up, and bring that small cooker out of the cupboard.
