This book isn't just for diabetics; it's for anyone who wants to learn how to put together a nutritionally sound diet.

You'll come away understanding the Food Pyramid, daily requirements (for starches, carbs, protein, fats; with a explanation of difference between carbs and starches), calorie requirements, glycemix index & load, supplements, reading labels, portion sizes and simple ways to incorporate all this information into your daily life.

I don't understand why this isn't a dieting or nutrition bestseller. Absolutely outstanding

The third updated edition of a classic book on diabetes meal planning is a 'must' in any home diabetic's cookbook collection, as well as for public lending libraries. The best-seller has been completely revised to accommodate new eating and lifestyle habits, offering both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics and pre-diabetics and the newly diagnosed plenty of nutrition information and tips on healthy eating. From understanding portions and label information to menu planning, it holds everything needed to understand and modify a diet.

As a newly diagnosed diabetic, I have had a hard time figuring out what to eat and how to plan a meal, how do I know how much to eat, how to combine foods. It all boiled down to: "What can I eat?" This is not the only source I have used but this is the book that had all of the most accurate information and recommended guidelines. I did not like many, okay most, of the meal planning suggestions but I have been able to take that info and plan my meals based on the foods I do like. I've also tried a greater variety of foods and recipes in order to incorporate the meal planning goals in this book. I'm a long way from where I need to be but this book is an excellent tool to help me get there and I thoroughly recommend it.

This book truly has made it easier for us to plan meals for a family member recently diagnosed with diabetes. It is also a great book for anyone who needs to control carb intake. I recommend this publication.

this book is written in an easy format and chapters are nicely arranged. it's full of health tips and ready-made meals according to calorie requirement. excellent for health care professionals and people who have diabetes.

I did not need to read a tome on Diabetes. I needed a recipe book with quick, easy meals for a working person. Not, fancy salmon or chicken Amandine, just plain food that works for diabetics. This book would be terrific for nurses or nutritionists but not for the average diabetic. Thank you.

I thought it would be more precise and more receipe's.
Lots of good information however.
