Editorial Reviews

"I would recommend this book if you are trying to cut carbs to reduce your HbA1c and obtain a healthier body weight. This book is different from other reduced-carb meal plans in that it is based on a carb % rather than limiting everyone to the same number of grams per day, and these meals are healthy rather than low carb and high fat/high protein. Low carb dieting has to be done correctly to produce healthy results, and with Kathy’s book, you should be on your way to a healthier you!"—Tamara S. Herman, RD, LD, CDE

"The One-Pot Diabetes Cookbook is a treasure of healthy, delectable meals made simply in one pot for diabetes. Kathy Birkett includes important teaching points that are easily understood."—Ann Shalley, MD

"I love this cookbook! The first two chapters, while written for diabetics, are very informative and useful for anyone who wants to follow a healthy diet. The recipes are easy to follow and are great for any diabetic who is wanting to eat healthier but doesn't know where to begin. I plan to share this cookbook with my patients and families to help them better navigate the world of healthy eating!"—Nancy Farrar, NP
