Customer Reviews

An excellent survey recommended above the prior edition for its detail and further depth.

This second updated edition of a diabetes fact book packs in nutrition details as did the first - with a difference. It updates common questions and answers diabetics have about best eating routines for diabetes control, provides both a review of basic nutrition facts and a survey of diabetes-specific issues, and provides not short but good-length answers to potentially confusing questions such as 'can I eat anything marked sugar-free?'

Just diagnosed in Seattle

I was just recently diagnosed with diabetes a month ago. One of the first things I did was head to the bookstore and library. This was the first book I purchased. It simply explains EVERYTHING I needed to know about the nutritional needs and concerns of a diabetic. It helped to make what I thought a complicated and scary situation a lot easier to understand. THANK YOU!I have since purchased the "The Diabetes Carbohydrate and Fat Gram Guide" as well. I carry this book with me wherever I go.

A "must have" book for diabetic patients

As a pharmacist, I stress the importance of diet and exercise to my diabetic patients during counseling of their medications...this book helps the diabetic patient achieve their caloric goals easier and tastier! Great book! I highly recommend!

Quick & Easy To Understand - Great Book!

I bought this book because of the quick and understandable answers it gives to many of the questions I have about my diet. Even though I see a dietitian at my doctor's visits, I sometimes have questions after I get home. I especially liked the section of questions on weight control and fat. This is a great book to have at home!

Great gift for someone dealing with diabetes and diet!

I bought this book for my mother who has diabetes. She's thrilled with the book, because it has brief, straightforward answers to lots of her nutrition questions. We know the book has accurate information because it's published by the American Diabetes Association. I recommend it for anyone who is dealing with diet and diabetes.
