If you want to know more about the subject of hypoglycemia and you want to hear it from someone who's experienced it EDWARD KRIMMEL does a wonderful job with the help of his wife Patricia. I just found out I had Hypoglycemia in January after years and years of suffering. It's been a blessing for me finding out what was wrong finally. Their diet is awesome too. I've never felt better. Plus what better person to hear about the subject from than another Hypoglycemic. He has felt all the symptoms of all the sufferers and has insights that only a hypoglycemic could come across to make your day better every single HOUR. Enjoy it and learn all about the body and why it's ALL MESSED UP! Chuck Love

I teach cooking. I also have a husband who suffers severely from hypoglycemia. I highly recommend this book as a companion to The Low Blood Sugar Handbook. Both are awesome resources and invaluable at establishing a life of focus an healing. I am constantly amazed at how few books there are about Hypoglycemia as it is such a devasting condition to deal with. The book Protein Power by Dr. Eades, is also a wonderful tool. Though not focued solely on this issue it is still a powerful tool on strengtheing the diet and life choices outlined in the Krimmels book(s).

These are a must have for anyone connected with this illness. Wonderfully supportive, and richly written.

As an athlete and having a high complex carbo diet I developed hypoglycemia. The diagnosis took a full year and developed into major problems. The greatest find was this cookbook! What do I eat? I now have something to help me. I have a family of 5 who can also benefit from this book.

Doctors will not help you with hypoglycemia, they will tell you you're making it up or prescribe drugs which alleviate symptoms but not the cause. Hypoglycemia is a misery to live with, I know. Thank God the Krimmels have written their books to help us.

We found this book long before we lucked onto the pediatric endocrinologist who told our young son to stop eating sugar. (And said, "Of course there's hypoglycemia.") With two members of our family needing alternatives in this world of sugar fixation, this is the only cookbook we've found to help. All others assume it's about diabetes, when it's really about living and eating happily without sugar.

My husband purchased the book so we could start eating more healthy and start watching our sugar intake. I was surprised that there was no nutritional guide included for any of the recipes and some look to have lots of added fat in them; ie half & half, cream. I don't want to replace the sugar with fat. I do like the simple format of the recipes and that they include some recipes that really resonate with my kids. I also liked the fact they included oat flour, flax seed, and wheat germ to the recipes. If you are caught up on knowing calorie breakdown this book is not for you but if you are open to new recipes using fruit sugars then you will enjoy this book.

This is the best cookbook I have found on this topic. Some of the recipes are delicious and some are very strange and did not turn out to be enjoyable. The veggie nut loaf, spinach and mushroom casserole and the quiche recipes are my favorites. The tuna salad mold and creamy main dish salad left a lot to be desired. They both were quite odd and not very tasty. This is a good book to give you some recipes and ideas for sugarless and low carb cooking. I think its worth buying and having. I use it and refer to it often.

Didn't have as much info about hypoglycemia as I hoped. The recipes still have other forms of sugar in them such as different kinds of juices. Not really what I was looking for.

This cookbook is a nice addition for people with low blood sugar. There are some good recipes for oatmeal muffins, zuchinni, brown rice and celery soup. There is also a big table with fruits and vegetables organized by percent carbohydrate.

The book was real helpful. I have reactive hypoglycemia. It is hard to find the right information on how to control your blood sugar.
