I was looking for a cookbook that would make it easier for me to cook for a patient with diabetes. What I got was a book of southwestern recipes, foods that are cooked with sugar (which I was surprised at, since diabetics have a problem with metabolizing sugar), and it was not helpful at all. I believe the information was for anyone who wanted to use it, but it was not for diabetics specifically. My cooking chore was not made easier. In fact, I will probably give it to a charity since I cannot use it.

Of all the recipes, only 3 were worth trying. One worth repeating. Save your money. Search online for ideas instead.

I was able to find four recipes that were exciting to make. I am not an expert on this, but I thought that the book contained too much pasta and high fat to be appropriate for a diabetic diet. Some of the foods were a little too exotic or unusual for the average person in my opinion. There were lots of wonderful pictures and it was easy to read and understand. I also prefer to make all recipes from scratch, whereas this book uses some cereals or packaged items which may not be available in all stores. I really like the idea that Betty Crocker did write this book, and I hope that they do another book. It is good to be able to cook for the diabetics. Thank you very much, and enjoy cooking and reading!

Betty Crocker has put together another wonderful and easy-to-follow cookbook. The meals are healthy and tasty. Simple recipes for all "chefs". Worth the purchase and you will not be disappointed.

This book has very easy and tasty recipes for diabetics and the rest of the family won't suffer!

I took out this book from the library before I purchased it. I was delighted with all the new ways to make quick meals. I purchased the book and have it out every day to review the colorful pages of the meals and pick out one or two a week to try.

The book is very good. Is Betty Crocker still alive or was it written by a ghost writer? All joking aside. The recipes are clearly written and you don't have to be Julia Child's to make them. For those of you that are stricken by diabetes you'll like this book. You will still have to exercise, take your pills or poke yourself with insuline but you'll eat better using these recipes. The order went through smoothly. I had to wait for the book yet amazon notified me of the delay and kept me informed as to when it was shipped.

My husband was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic; this cookbook is very helpful in finding fast, easy, and healthy meals.

This book is very well made and easy to use. The photos are superb.

This allows for meals with a homemade flavor for the diabetic and their family.
No tasteless meals to guard your glucose numbers. Real ingreadents taste like the Sunday dinner flavors your craving, no cardboard taste. Betty Crocker Company did their homework again.
