The recipes comprising the Easy Diabetic Meals provide easy-to-follow directions and ingredient amounts for both 2 and 4 servings, feature easily-located and common ingredients, and lack the complexity of some diabetic cookbooks which require long preparation times. The result is a set of complete 2-week menus for three different calorie levels and meals which embrace the concept of appeal for the entire family, diabetic or not.

Fabulous book! The menus are easy, quick, and tasty. Being a single person, I am too tired to cook when I get home. This book has help me change my bad habits. Like anything, once it becomes your routine, life is simple. The only thing I would change is the title. I would call it Easy Healthy Meals For 2 or 4 Servings. I'm not even a diabetic. My eating habits have improved and I am losing weight without dieting. Don't hesitate to purchase it.

The book was in great condition and came much faster than stated. There is much information in the book for someone who is new to being diabetic. Since it is just my husband and myself I like the idea of recipes for 2 servings although I usually make the 4 so he will have something to take to work and I can have a second meal without cooking all over again.

The book had other information besides recipes pertinent to diabetes. Each page has nutrition facts for the recipe at the bottom of each page. Also each page has exchange information at the top of the page for the recipe. The spiral binding allows the book to lay completely flat or on a stand for easier reading of the recipe while cooking. I was completely pleased with this cookbook.

I purchased this book at Amazon. It is easy to use. It opens flat for reading while preparing meals and the ingredients are centered while the amount of ingredients are on one side for 1-2 and the other side for 3-4 servings. That's the good part.
Then comes the other part. I have never seen such off-the wall recipes. I was hoping for something I could make and enjoy every day. I have no idea who would relish these weird recipes. And some of them, the amount of effort to make FAR outweighs the good of the meal.
This book really would be good for Chef Robert or Rachael Ray, but not for an ordinanry person like me.
