Cuando Tenemos Diabetes...Lo Que Más Afecta Nuestro Nivel de Azúcar es la Comida que Comemos y como la Cocinamos: Guía para Puertorriqueños con Diabetes: Como Comer Saludablemente. Philadelphia: Latino Health Literacy Project, Health Promotion Council of SE Pennsylvania, 1995. Available from: Health Promotion Council of SE Pennsylvania; 311 S. Juniper Street, Room 308; Philadelphia, PA 19107; phone (215) 546-1276; $10. This 40-page, large print, well-illustrated, Spanish language guide spells out manageable steps for healthy eating. Examples include: eat more fruits and vegetables; eat a variety of foods; and eat less take-out or prepared food. The guide is divided into sections, which are labeled with both letters and illustrations so the sections can be easily found. People can either read one page or one section at a time. Each section includes information for teaching one session or class, but no lesson plans are provided. While the version described here is for Puerto Ricans specifically, the Latino Health Literacy Project produces a second version for Latinos in general. This publication is only available in Spanish.
