Diabetes Meal Planning Made Easy, 3rd edition

This book truly has made it easier for us to plan meals for a family member recently diagnosed with diabetes. It is also a great book for anyone who needs to control carb intake. I recommend this publication.

Not just for diabetics

This book isn't just for diabetics; it's for anyone who wants to learn how to put together a nutritionally sound diet. You'll come away understanding the Food Pyramid, daily requirements (for starches, carbs, protein, fats; with a explanation of difference between carbs and starches), calorie requirements, glycemix index & load, supplements, reading labels, portion sizes and simple ways to incorporate all this information into your daily life. I don't understand why this isn't a dieting or nutrition bestseller. Absolutely outstanding

A Must for Every Cook Creating for a Diabetic

This book is a primo resource book written in laymen's terms. It is equally informative for those very familiar with what food pyramids and healthy eating are all about, as well for those who may be a novice to the subject. The book is organized in such a way to make quick and easy reference something you want to do to refresh your memory once you've read through it and gotten the gist of the goals. Keep it nearby your favorite chair or on your cook book shelf and use it when you make up your grocery list. "De-mystify" is an over used word but really describes this book. Best of all, it's backed by the American Diabetes Association and thus, one of the most reliable for this subject. I bought my first copy nearly a hear ago as a newly diagnosed Type II diabetic and have bought other copies for friends, recommended it to others, and refer to it very often, still. I feel it was very instrumental in helping me to obtain my hard won goal of great sugar and weight control (sugar formerly 235, since I've been following the book it's mid-80's and I lost 44 pounds in about 4-5 months). I am a walking advertisement for why you should buy - but most importantly - USE this book.

Planning meals for a diabetic:

I was looking for a way to help me cook for a diabetic, I went to the library and found this book. After reading it for almost 3 weeks I knew it was exactly what I was looking for and that's why I purchased it. Thank you.
