Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook: Everyday Meals, Easy as 1-2-3

At last! This special cookbook puts flavor and choice back on the menu for people with diabetes and their families
Betty Crocker, America's most trusted friend in the kitchen, has teamed up with the International Diabetes Center (IDC)--one of the leading medical centers--to create an indispensable source of easy-to-make recipes and up-to-the-minute food and nutrition information for the growing numbers of people who have diabetes, more than 15 million of them.

Here is the first cookbook to include recipes featuring Carbohydrate Choices--the new, simplified approach to meal planning recommended by the American Diabetes Association. For people who find diet exchanges too hard, too limiting or too much work, this new method is a real breakthrough. Each of the book's 140 recipes shows the number of Carbohydrate Choices per serving, so that planning the rest of the meal is easy. From Old-Time Beef and Vegetable Stew to Creamy Vanilla-Caramel Cheesecake, the recipes are made with everyday ingredients, including sugar. No food groups or ingredients are left out, so there's no need for anyone to feel deprived or restricted to a special diet. Food exchanges are also included, making it easy for those who still count calories.

Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook is also packed with expert medical and nutrition tips from Dr. Richard Bergenstal, an endocrinologist and diabetes doctor, and two registered nurses--invaluable for the newly diagnosed as well as for those who have been coping with diabetes for years. Throughout the book, real-life advice from people who have diabetes offers inspiration and great ideas on dealing with this chronic disease. When it comes to eating and living with diabetes, people need guidance and advice they can trust.

Customer Review: The Best I've Found Yet...

My mom is diabetic, and I just felt bad because we'd always have food that she couldn't eat with us. So I bought this book. So far, the recipies that I've tried have all turned out to be delicious, and the whole family wants me to cook more. Not only are the recipies good, but it gives a little bit of information about the differnt types of diabetes and in the back it gives a sample schedule of what to eat and when. Anyways, I could go on, but the point is, this is the best book I've found so far with recipies for diabetic people. And the whole family loves the food as well.

I did like the author's suggestion about reducing caffeine intake. I've been off coffee after my doctor told me it caused me acid indigestion. He recommended a book called "The Truth About Caffeine: How Companies That Promote it Deceive us and What We Can Do About It. Highly Recommended..

Customer Review: Practical and Educational

I am surprised by the ingredients used in this book. I always thought that as a diabetic I must avoid most carbohydrates. It is helpful to also have some medical advice included in the cookbook. Advice from people who have diabetes offers inspiration and great ideas on dealing with this chronic disease. Another great book that I suggest for all diabetics is "Cure the Incurable". It does contain a wealth of information on diabetes and other incurable diseases. I think it is a very good addition to Diabetes Cookbook. As the author states at his website StartHealthyLife : "Educate yourself before you medicate yourself!"
