Diabetic Living Diabetes What to Eat Spiral-bound – September 30, 2011

I have tried a few diabetes cookbooks and they are not as thorough as this one. I just received it...First of all its spiral bound. Second, it has clearly labeled sections with everything from "begin" (which is a complete explanation regarding diabetes and what and what not to eat) to "sweets", including vegan and slow cooker. It's beautifully illustrated with gorgeous pictures that make you want to cook the dish and it made me hungry! Some of the recipes may be lengthy and others are not, but well worth the time and ingredients. I haven't even tried the recipes yet but I'm very anxious to do some pantry shopping and make them. The is the most comprehensive cook book on diabetes I've seen yet. You won't be sorry. Enjoy eating again!! I know I will.

Love the book! Spiral bound inside the traditional binder cover which makes it easy to use and turn the pages w/o having to pry the book open. The information is top notch, easy to read and easy to understand. The recipes are incredibly helpful. If you're struggling to understand type II diabetes then this book will absolutely help to dispel some of the mystery and help you to live a healthier life ... easier!!!!

I am have loved Better Homes & Gardens since I was a kid. With a pre-diabetes condition that needed meds I was confused about how to count carb and what to eat. This was great on both counts. Most of the recipes were easy to make and were even loved by my husband, who is not diabetic. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to eat and wants to enjoy your meals even it you are diabetic or not.

This was a gift for my Dad. He's made several items, and reported he was very happy with them. He said some dishes have long ingredient lists and some don't, but the directions are easy to follow. This has encouraged my parents to eat at home more, which is better for them both.

Pictures for every meal and lots of information and ideas inside as well. My mother has diabetes and she thought the information was just what she needed to become more educated with this disease. She has been struggling as to what to eat.

There are some good recipes in this book and there are a lot of nice pictures to go along with the recipes in the book. However, several of the recipes do have sugar in them, which I find crazy for someone looking for a book on what to eat when they have diabetes. That's like recommending alcohol to someone in rehab. To me a recipe book for someone with diabetes should have non sugar recipes as ingesting more sugar certainly isn't going to help someone with diabetes. Look for other options if you are serious about improving your health, or just make the other items in the book without sugar.

This is a great cookbook for a diabetic person. My husband was recently diagnosed. The book contains many colored illustrations and has a lot of information about serving sizes and calories per serving. I am very satisfied with this book and appreciated the reviews I read before purchasing.

I have owned this cookbook for 10 years, and recently gave it as a gift. Recipes are tasty, sensible, and easy to prepare. The seller met expectations, The cookbook is a winner.
