The Art of Cooking for the Diabetic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides such a wealth of information to anyone who is new to the world of a diabetic. It answered so many questions that I had and didn't know where to go for the answers.
With all the new products on the market, this updated version takes the pain out of grocery shopping in the supermarket skills section.
I bought three copies....One for my mom, one for a friend and one for myself and we all agree...Bon Appetit!

Our Best Diabetic Living Recipes (Better Homes & Gardens Cooking) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this book! Most diabetic cookbooks I have read or tried to use have elements that I like, but this book has them all. It's pretty, using color pictures to show off the recipes, it's so informative and offers really great information, and most importantly, the food tastes good! You do not have to eat bland, falvorless food as a diabetic! I have even given this book to friends and family as a gift and they love it as much as I do.

American Dietetic Association Guide to Eating Right When You Have Diabetes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book stands out from others because goes beyond just telling you WHAT to do to manage your diabetes, it also tells you the WHY. By helping you understand the reasoning behind dietary and exercise guidelines, the author gives you the knowledge you need to make intelligent decisions when presented with situations not covered by guidelines alone. She seems to understand that everything isn't always black and white in life, and you have to make choices based on many factors.
I'm newly diagnosed. Since I'm not on any medications (and hope to keep it that way for as long as possible), the two tools I have to manage my diabetes are exercise and diet. This book addresses the diet aspect very well, while touching on the importance of exercise. It's not a scientific text, so it doesn't go into excruciating detail. It's an easy read. She helps you understand how the body works without diabetes, and then explains what happens differently when you have diabetes. You'll come to understand how different foods affect your blood glucose level - and WHY. Which allows you to understand and develop your own meal plan if you don't have access to a nutritionist. If you do, you'll better understand why your nutritionist makes the recommendations she does, and you will have the knowledge to discuss various options with her.
This may not be the first thing you want to read if you've just discovered you need to live in a way that manages your blood glucose levels. There are higher level overview books; educational websites run by the Joslin Center or American Diabetes Association; or better yet, diabetes management programs taught by diabetes educators and nutritionists at most local hospital that will give you a solid foundation. Ask your doctor about local programs if he hasn't recommended it to you already.
With that knowledge under your belt, this is an excellent book to take you down to the next level of detail.
