Diabetes Books

A terrific book, I requested recipes from diabetes associations around the world, others from travels to foreign lands and cooked them in my American kitchen. Nutrients for each recipe are included. I wanted to bring many flavors to a large audience of enthusiastics who are also nutrition buffs. The variety of seasonings, appetizers, soups, salads, vegetables, grains and legumes, fish, casseroles, meats, desserts and fruits, beverages and breads will filll your kitchen with aromas. You can create simple, spectacular, or exotic meals from Europe, the Mediterranean, Middle East, Caribbean, South America, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Africa. And everyone can use Diabetic Cooking from Around the World. Recipes from the book have been selected for their multicultural value for use by teachers and children in the Head Start Programs. You can try them, too.

I've just made it through Thanksgiving and Christmas without gaining any weight. I owe my thanks to a course I took on weight control where they taught us to use methods that work for diabetics. Even though I'm not diabetic, cooking that way makes a difference.
The turkey dinner, gingerbread cookies, and a special Christmas pudding in this book are some of the festive recipes for the whole family. Each recipe lists the diabetic exchanges for ease in monitoring.

New to this 2002 edition is a Diabetic Diet section as well as new lipid and blood pressure recommendations. Diabetes now afflicts nearly 21,000,000 Americans! Yet studies have shown that 80% of diabetics do NOT receive adequate education and care. The Diabetic Diary 2002 provides a simply formatted record of all the currently recommended diabetic health maintenance examinations, tests, blood pressures, lipids, kidney function and more. If you are truly interested in taking a proactive role in your diabetic management, this book is for you. Recently, I accompanied my diabetic stepfather to the emergency room. The answer to essentially every question the doctor asked him about his history was recorded in his book! This book was designed to accompany the diabetic patient to all physician encounters.

This book is quite good. It helps with herbal remedies and stuff. I really, really liked the exercises and stuff.

A great book for a student in clinics to understand and evaluate the general pathologies and mechanisms of the diabetic and there feet!

This book will help middle-age people, diabetics, borderline
diabetics and everyone who wishes to head off pancreatic
problems in old age. The work contains a section on how the
pancreas operates. There is a section which explains the
equivalence of insulin absorption to food absorption. The work
contains many sample menus for breakfast, lunch, supper and
the so-called in-between snacks. In-between snacks are the
danger period so read the snacks section CAREFULLY.

The basic diet consists of milk (preferably fat free), eggs,
orange juice, oatmeal, lettuce, chicken, nuts, turkey and tuna.
The book is an excellent supplement to the personal health library.

My brother-in-law is diabetic, so I look for recipes that lets him enjoy the holiday feast too. This book has some great recipes.
The pumpkin mousse can provide a light finish for the turkey dinner. Indulge guiltlessly in raspberry sauce, lemon chiffon pie, or piña colada squares.
The rest of us could benefit from following his eating pattern. He's lost weight and looking great.

This book is highly motivating when it comes to the powerfulness of the NingXia Wolfberry. Dr. Young, Dr. Lawrence and Marc Schreuder, PhD. dissect this berry very well. This book has been able to help me in my endeavors as a nutritional educator to understand the exact breakdown of the wolfberry and the breakdown of other vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Then to compare them beside each other just gives a whole new light on the term "ultimate superfood". I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone looking for understanding on the breakdown of the wolfberry in comparison to other essential nutrients.

I'm really glad I found this book - I've been looking in stores and online forever to find something like this. I'm not obcessive about my diet, but I do enjoy eating healthy stuff, and it's good to know this book was checked by a licenced dietician who knows what she's talking about. You would have a hard time going wrong buying this book.

I have a six year old with diabetes. All of the doctors that i consulted said that there wasn't much that we could do. But now that I've read this book, I've found many ways to keep my child safe and healthy!
