5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent diabetes diet/nutrition resource , July 28, 2008

By	R. Clifford "Rose C." (Bethesda, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 16 Myths of a Diabetic Diet (Paperback)

This is an excellent book and a "must read" for everyone who has diabetes or who plans meals/shops/cooks for people with diabetes. I am a registered dietitian who works in an endocrine clinic and I also have a private nutrition practice. I recommend this book to all of my patients/clients with diabetes. So many people with diabetes think in terms of can't eat this or can't eat that. It's time to think about what you can eat as well as debunk the myth once and for all that people with diabetes can't eat any sugar. This book was updated in 2007 and contains everything you need to know to eat well to manage diabetes. Also covered in the book are the lastest summary recommendations of the American Diabetes Association's 2006 updated medical nutrition therapy guidelines.
