If you or someone special in your life is diabetic this book can be an asset to your library. It does not matter if you are a recently diagnosed diabetic or if you have been one for years, I found this to be a great, easy to understand book. Even though my husband has been a diabetic for a couple of years there are things I have not put into practice that I need to be doing (since I do the cooking).Considering the practical nature of this book, I feel it will help me to do those things the nutritionist instucted me to do from the beginning. (There is a good chance you may not be eating properly either.)The book is quite detailed, it is not "just a cookbook". It has a LOT of additional helps and compares a variety of foods, instructing which are the best to choose and why.The recipes in it are appealing and intend to try a lot of them. By now you may figure out that I highly recommend this book.
