Betty Crocker's Diabetes Cookbook: Everyday Meals, Easy as 1-2-3ReviewsThis is a great cookbook for any one with diabetes or any one who has to prepare meals for some one who does. The book was in excellent condition and shipping was speedy. This is the best book I have ever had and believe me I have had a lot of cook books. My husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes; it came as surprise, because although it's in his family history, he is only 25. We are making huge changes in our eating habits, and this cookbook has been incredibly helpful. Not only does it provide low-carb recipes, it's also a valuable resource for information on diabetes itself. It includes a care chart, a glossary of terms associated with diabetes, a convenient list of 1 choice snacks, tips and recommendations from doctors and fellow diabetics, etc. For people just starting to learn about diabetes and its implications, we couldn't have chosen a better resource. Highly recommended. This book met all my expectations. I was looking for a cookook with the nutrional informaion for my diabetic daughter. It has recipes that are simple and I would us on an everyday basis. I just wish there was a section for Celiac (gluten free) recipes with the nutritional info. We got this cookbook for I have diabetes and needed to fix meals that was easy and good. We have tried three of the recipes and have been really easy and good. Not like the orther cookbooks that say the meal is good and easy to fix when you can't find half of the ingredents and when you sit down to eat them they are horrible. I give this cookbook high ratings for the ingredents are easy to find and it tells you exactly how many carbs you are eating and what to fix along it to make a good meal in other wards the whole menu for that meal or all the meals for the day if you want a more down to the point on what to eat and when.

Betty Crocker 30-Minute Meals for Diabetes (Betty Crocker Books)ReviewsMy husband was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic; this cookbook is very helpful in finding fast, easy, and healthy meals. This book is very well made and easy to use. The photos are superb. gift for daughter-in-law she said she liked it.., but i have always wondered if she knew how to read or was just looking at the pretty pictures I was looking for a cookbook that would make it easier for me to cook for a patient with diabetes. What I got was a book of southwestern recipes, foods that are cooked with sugar (which I was surprised at, since diabetics have a problem with metabolizing sugar), and it was not helpful at all. I believe the information was for anyone who wanted to use it, but it was not for diabetics specifically. My cooking chore was not made easier. In fact, I will probably give it to a charity since I cannot use it. This allows for meals with a homemade flavor for the diabetic and their family. No tasteless meals to guard your glucose numbers. Real ingreadents taste like the Sunday dinner flavors your craving, no cardboard taste. Betty Crocker Company did their homework again. Average Rating: |
