5.0 out of 5 stars Hurray. just what title implies, July 8, 2000

Exactly what title says -- menus for diabetes. Timesaver. Very useful. Meals I'd really cook. Relieves the brain-drain of trying to figure (what food exchanges, fats, etc. by having right in recipe) and the struggle to match bread/meat/veggies so that exchanges work out correctly. Menus of real food that even your meat and potato types would go for without just telling you to substitute nutrasweet for sugar, resorting to tofu, and weird recipes you could never get your family to try if they knew what you were cooking.

Using this book is a no-brainer - which is what I REALLY needed. My husband was just diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and his nutritional needs are critical. We are stationed in Germany and are in the process of moving. I was disheartened when I found that the military dietician is unavailable right now. Other books were confusing - trying to figure out 30% fat calories, etc. This book saved my sanity! The spiral binding and split page design are FANTASTIC and the food is GREAT. Directions are concise and it's easy to prepare a menu and shopping list from the book. Best of all, we're getting nutritious, consistant, easy meals and snacks and half the work is done for us. Some of the books in the series even include smart choices when eating out at fast food restaurants - another bonus. When our doctor and nurses saw these books, they were AMAZED. My recomendation: get all five!

I bought this cookbook recently to give to someone just diagnosed with diabetes and spent a good deal of time reading the recipes, myself. It is a good cookbook for anyone who is interested in eating healthy. I copied some of the recipes for my own use. I particularly liked some of the chicken recipes as well as the recipe for black bean soup. Each page of the book is divided into thirds so that you can mix and match different foods as you plan your meals. When you get past that initial barrier of figuring out what is going on with the book, you will like this cookbook tremendously. There is a wealth of information here to make us all healthier eaters.
