I was just recently diagnosed with diabetes a month ago. One of the first things I did was head to the bookstore and library. This was the first book I purchased. It simply explains EVERYTHING I needed to know about the nutritional needs and concerns of a diabetic. It helped to make what I thought a complicated and scary situation a lot easier to understand. THANK YOU!

I have since purchased the "The Diabetes Carbohydrate and Fat Gram Guide" as well. I carry this book with me wherever I go.

As a pharmacist, I stress the importance of diet and exercise to my diabetic patients during counseling of their medications...this book helps the diabetic patient achieve their caloric goals easier and tastier! Great book! I highly recommend!

I bought this book for my mother who has diabetes. She's thrilled with the book, because it has brief, straightforward answers to lots of her nutrition questions. We know the book has accurate information because it's published by the American Diabetes Association. I recommend it for anyone who is dealing with diet and diabetes.

Found this book to be very basic. This book would only serve someone who had not read and did not know anything about diabetes. It would be good for a teen. Did not feel it was worth the money I paid.

I bought this book because of the quick and understandable answers it gives to many of the questions I have about my diet. Even though I see a dietitian at my doctor's visits, I sometimes have questions after I get home. I especially liked the section of questions on weight control and fat. This is a great book to have at home!

From types of fiber which may help blood sugar levels to both new drugs and natural treatments for diabetes,101 Nutrition Tips For People With Diabetes provides question-and-answer format tips for everything from weight control and sugars to fat replacers and exercise. The slim appearance and easy format will appeal to those who need quick bits of information.

Yes, this book has good, straight-forward answers to common questions, but it was simplistic almost to a child's level and was extremely repetitive. For a newbie, it's small enough to throw in a purse until one master's the new lifestyle choices.
