As a registered dietitian, I am always on the lookout for practical, user-friendly books to recommend to friends, clients, and the lay public. Here, Constance Brown-Riggs has come up with a winner. This book is a comprehensive resource for those who are plagued by or at high risk for diabetes. Addressing the particular needs and preferences of African Americans, the author provides instruction and education without being preachy for those who wish to take charge of their lives and fight diabetes with diet. She makes following a healthful, disease-fighting diet for life easy. The exchange lists are particularly helpful. Highly recommended!

I found "Eating Soulfully and Healthfully with Diabetes" a wonderful resource with clear-cut guidelines to follow for African Americans and other people with type 2 diabetes. Constance Brown-Riggs made each chapter build on the last, answering many common questions. As a registered dietitian, I highly recommend this book--a first step in understanding the important dietary and lifestyle factors and learning practical and useful diet and food information.

This book is a wonderful resource geared towards American South and Caribbean foods. It includes an extensive exchange list for these foods so people will know how they fit in their overall diet. The book also includes helpful information on how to control diabetes.
