This is the easiest cookbook I've ever used. The recipes are delicious. It's so hard to find diabetic versions of the snacks and treats I love to munch on, and here they are! Great for kids to eat after school, or for late night treats.

If you already know how to cook you may not be interested in this book. If you are newly diagnosed w/diabetes or have a diabetic child this is a good "first" cookbook that is easy to follow and has a good variety of recipes for beginning cooks and children that are interested in preparing food.

I was searching books for dog treats...and wanted diabetic treats for diabetic dogs. Somehow this book showed up in my search and without giving it a good look over, I ordered it. It is a recipe book for people. After looking it over, I found that it had tons of great looking recipes in it. I can't tell you how good they are, because my girlfriend who is diabetic stole it from me. I'm assuming it was good though, because she never gave it back!

I bought this book for my sister. She loves it. It has helped her control her diabetes through diet.

I received this book as a gift and I have been rather disappointed by it. I have struggles with hypoglycemia, which I have been treating like diabetes as far as my diet is concerned so I do not develop diabetes.

The recipes in this book are, in general, so-so, though there are some good ones if you are the type of person who likes convenience. A number of recipes use only a collection of a few store-bought ingredients.

The author makes no mention whatsoever of the glycemic index and types of carbohydrates to consume, instead stating that it "doesn't matter" where the carbs come from, only the amount. This is contrary to the most recent research I have read. The recipes use quite a bit of sugar (IMHO), with no consideration of lower-glycemic alternatives such as agave nectar.

I also did not like the number of fried dishes.

Out of the whole book, there are some I can use, but it was not the type of cookbook I expected.

Superb! Mom is enjoying the ideas very much. I just hopes she makes some of the dishes so I can enjoy them too! LOL

I was some what unhappy with this cook book. A lot of the recipes just did not appeal to me. I though they sounded dull and tasteless....but have not tried that many, so it's a judge for your self kind of thing....you may enjoy.
