This review is from: Mix 'n' Match Meals in Minutes for People with Diabetes: A No-Brainer Solution to Meal Preparation (Paperback)

I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and am in the market for a really interesting and good cookbook for people with my condition. The one I got was produced by the American Diabetes Association. Tremendous disappointment. I was looking at it last night and only found two recipes that sounded interesting.
I plan to do some research on the next cookbook I buy aimed at Diabetics. There's no reason it has to be dull and uninteresting.

An excellent book for help in avoiding bad things for diabetics. Unfortunately the resulting salt content for most recommended foods/meals is way too high.... blood pressure issues start to come into play . Bland meals require sodium to compensate.....but try buying any prepared foods without swallowing half the dead sea.
