Book Description:
Delicious food for people with diabetes. Because diabetes affects an estimated 16 million people in the US, half of whom are undiagnosed, there has never been a greater need for authoritative information on the condition. Comprehensive and practical, the Diabetes Cookbook helps people with diabetes take control of their condition and live life to the full. Understanding Diabetes: The American Diabetes Association — the nation’s leading health organization supporting diabetes research — joins Dorling Kindersley in publishing the Diabetes Cookbook. Describing the two main types of diabetes and explaining the treatment and management of the condition, the book shows how to plan menus to achieve a well–balanced diet and stable blood–glucose levels, and gives advice on interpreting nutritional guidelines and adapting standard recipes. Stylish Food: From Thai Shrimp and Vegetable Curry to Coriander–crusted Lamb Steaks to Fruit and Amoretti Trifle, over 100 beautifully illustrated recipes demonstrate that a diet for those with diabetes need be anything but dull. Each carefully devised recipe is accompanied by a full nutritional analysis. There are also tips on individual foods, alternative ingredients, and serving ideas. Menus To Suit Everyone: The Diabetes Cookbook shows how easy it is to plan menus that are appropriate to people with diabetes and that also appeal to family and friends. There are recipes for all occasions, including buffet lunches, children’s snacks, vegetarian suppers, and three–course dinner parties.

Disappointing by Lady Z
Recipes are intricate, difficult and call for ingredients that are not “on hand” for the average person, especially a working family.

Good for a recently diagnosed diabetic by Diabetic Aries
I have been a diabetic for several years and purchased this book simply to see what it contained. I have found several ideas for myself and a great many items that would be very usefull for a recently diagnosed diabetic who wants to get started cookin good food without haveing to worry about the fact that it ordinary food and not what the usual types of food that the doctors and Neutritionists recommend.

Odd ingredients by A. Ross
I didn’t like this cookbook because it had odd ingredients. A gourmet cook or someone dying of boredom from regular cooking might enjoy it though.

The Official Word by Susan E. Meyer
Nothing new here. Same old, same old cookie cutter advice for diabetics.
