Editorial Reviews

I was diagnosed as Type 2 diabetic fairly recently. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to eat good food anymore, but the recipes in this book are very satisfying and full of flavor, and fairly simple to make. I recommend this book and buying it in the Kindle version is helpful when shopping for ingredients since it can be pulled up on your phone while shopping.”—Mike H.

“Just the book I was looking for. The recipes not only sound delicious, but are delicious! The nutrition counts are rich information that all diabetics need to help decide what to eat, when to eat, and how much to eat. A wealth of information! Thanks!!!”—Tammy

“Very helpful and informative, with a ton of interesting and good recipes for low carb/sugar meals, sides, and desserts for diabetics. Having recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, this book has been a great source of knowledge and meal planning/making. It is also a good size too.”—Matthew R.

“I needed diet plans and recipes that I could live with and would not taste like cardboard. This book might just save my life. I am on insulin and my sugars were sky high when I bought this book. They are starting to come down now.”—Kindle Customer
