Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Getting dinner on the table is tough enough. For the millions of Americans who have diabetes or have family members with diabetes, preparing healthy and appealing meals can be nightmare. To the rescue: The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes by the American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association, two of the nation's leading sources for nutrition and health information. The authors chose the best recipes from four previous diabetic cookbooks and updated them using the newest and healthiest ingredients and the latest nutrition recommendations for people with diabetes.

The book contains 13 chapters and more than 400 easy recipes for everything from Miniature Crab Puffs and Turkey Sausage with Peppers and Onions to Moo Shu Pork and New York Cheesecake. The authors cover all the basics of a diabetic diet and lifestyle, including exercise, carbohydrate counting, and food-exchange lists. Each recipe is also accompanied by both nutrition facts and food exchanges. The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes proves that diabetics don't have to live on carrot sticks, rice cakes, and sugar-free yogurt to keep glucose levels in check. --Ellen Albertson

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Basic Cookbook
This is a wonderful cookbook that teaches you how to remake your favorite, basic recipes in ways that are delicious and yet lower in fat and sugar than the old-fashioned ways. My husband is diabetic, but this cookbook is for everyone. It sits right next to Craig Claiborne ("The New York Times Cookbook") and "The Joy of Cooking" on my shelf. Unlike some of my other diabetic cookbooks, it doesn't ask for exotic ingredients that you have to run to the store to buy.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Recipes
I love this cookbook ! My son, age 12, was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The change in diet has been hard for him. With help from the recipes in "The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes", we have been able to find things that my son can have. He especially likes the Chicken Nuggets, Creamy Macaroni and Cheese, and Angel Food Cake with Cocoa Whipped Cream. There are many different types of recipes in this book. I'm sure there are some for everyones tastes.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes
A wonder cookbook with lots of good, easy to prepare recipes that help me stick to the diabetic diet plan my registered dietitian prepared for me. My family also enjoys many of the recipes even though they are not diabetic.

The only complaint I have about the book is the index. I use the index frequently when I am looking for a specific recipe. This book does not put letters of the alphabet in the index as a location aid in finding a listing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Me and My Diabetes
I have type 2 Diabetes. My Doctor has told me that my Diabetes has gotten to the point that I will need insulin. He tells me that I need to get more exercise. I do my best. To my scale I am losing weight; but to his scale I am the same or I weigh even more. This Cookbook to me will help me eat what I should eat and the amont I should be eating.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - THE TRUTH ABOUT SUGAR
As a Registered Dietitian, for more than 20 years, and Certified Diabetes Educator, for over 10 years, I was so distressed by reviewer comments regarding sugar in the diabetic diet, that I am taking time to respond.

Since 1994 dietitians and educators working with people with diabetes have been trying to get the truth out about sucrose (sugar). Sugar is not a forbidden food for people with diabetes.

Scientific evidence from more than a dozen studies has shown that the ... Read More
