I bought this book intending on giving it to my father who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. The recipes looked delicious so I made a meal for my family. YUM. The food is prepaired so that every meal has a lot of flavor. I kept the first book for myself and now am giving him a new (unused) copy for himself. Be sure to try the cranberry pork chops!

I already own a couple of dozen diabetic cookbooks. I bought this one based on the reputation of the Better Homes and Gardens quality products. This one continues that tradition. The book is not only beautiful, but includes all the nutrition information, such as ADA exchanges, Joslin exchanges, etc., that anyone could want. Many of the recipes I've found are enjoyed by the whole family...including the fussy eaters and those who insist on flavorful food. This book shows you how to remove fat and and calories and still retain the fabulous flavor in food. Excellent book.

Finally someone put all the best information in one place. I can really look forward to good for me and good tasting food. At the same time I have an easy way to track the exact number of carbs and fat I've eaten.

I bought this book to test recipes for my diabetic grandmother, but it quickly became a favorite cookbook for all of us int the family. The recipes are easy to follow, use common ingredients and substitutions typically work just as well.

Additionally, the exchange lists, glossary and Q&A section have proven to be invaluable. Perhaps most helpful for me personally is the "food selection tips" section which helps me to choose healthier options both at the store and while eating out.

This is a great cookbook for everyone that wants to eat healthier!

We were very disappointed in this cookbook. The recipes are high in cholesterol and carbohydrates and do not indicate the amount of sugar. A lot of the recipes are high in sodium. We were looking for some good healthy recipes for diabetics. The book seemed to be old and out of date with current information available.

My son is a diabetic and I wanted to have a resource book for healthy recipes for him when he and his family visit. I am not a kitchen whiz, but this cookbook is perfect. It truly represents the quality we've come to expect over the years from the Better Homes & Gardens product line. The recipes are great - easy to follow with a wonderful variety of all the food groups and categories. It is nicely illustrated also. Thanks for meeting all my expectations.

I bought this book for my mom who was diagnosed recently as diabetic. My mom reports that the recipes she has tried are very good. The book is loaded with color pictures as well. The recipes seem more like real food rather than some special diet food. Many diabetic cookbooks have recipes which are pretty dull and definitely seem like "diet food" but this cookbook makes it possible to prepare beautiful and delicious with relative ease.

This book has helpful recipes using easily acquired ingredients for anyone watching their sugar intake. Delightful to the eye as well as to the palate.

NEW DIABETIC COOKBOOK blends familiar re-done favorites with new innovative dishes to provide a well-rounded set of diabetic-appropriate dishes the entire family can enjoy. All have been tested by the BH&G test kitchens and all are guaranteed to work well, including the exchanges and nutritional analysis with each recipe which is key to success.

Cooking for a diabetic is learning to cook all over again. Many useful recipes.
