Would you believe it if someone told you that you could eat healthy, tasty, diabetes-friendly meals on just $7 a day? It sounds impossible, but it isn't. You can save money without sacrificing what's most important to you: a healthy variety of great-tasting meals that fits any diabetes meal plan. Authors Geil and Ross give you a slew of new, low-cost recipes, complete with cost-per-serving and nutrition information, and useful tips to help you navigate the grocery store shelves.
I am taking a class for diabetics and the registered dietician (who is also a type 1 diabetic) highly recommended this book. She has it herself and uses it a lot. I will be ordering this one. The other thing she said was that everyone in the household should be eating the same meals- not to fix separate meals for the diabetic person while the rest of the family eats the less healthy fare.
Saw it in USA Today

Saw this book in USA Today and ordered it because the recipes and menus looked simple, inexpensive and delicious. I haven't been disappointed! Especially liked the market basket makeovers and shopping tips.
Great everyday recipes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a cookbook of great everyday recipes. My family is kind of meat and potatoes and doesn't like that "gourmet" stuff most cookbooks have. The peach cobble-up, apple crisp and chicken and dumplings are awesome and fairly simple to make. You might have to start out buying some of the lower fat or sugar substitute ingredients but most of the ingredients are regular pantry items. I definitely recommend this book if you are looking for some healthy recipe alternatives to old fashioned cooking. I usually buy a cookbook, use it once or twice and it winds up on a shelf, but not this one. I use it at least once a week and sometimes 3 or 4 times.
Eat Right and Save

Make your own croutons, enjoy a tropical slushy, or serve cinnamon-honey eggnog. Each recipe includes the cost per serving, the diabetic exchange information and the preparation time. It's not easy eating right for diabetes, but this book can be a big help.
Great for anyone -- not just diabetics!
