Editorial Review: One-of-a-kind heart-healthy cookbook created especially for people with diabetes
Diabetes puts people at a very high risk of having a heart attack or stroke. To address this problem, the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association have written a heart-healthy cookbook for people with diabetes. It's truly a one-of-a-kind cookbook packed with delicious recipes people will truly enjoy! Every recipe is low fat and lower in carbohydrates--and tastes great.
Recipes include everything from appetizers and breakfasts to dinners and desserts. With cardiovascular disease ranking number one on the list of diabetes-related complications, this is the must-have cookbook for anyone who wants to pump up his or her heart health! And it's great for people who don't have diabetes, too.
Delicious yet nutritious recipes include:
- Loaded Baked Potato Soup
- Deep South Shrimp Gumbo
- Swedish Meatballs
- Devil's Food Cupcake...

Surprised, 2008-05-17
I bought this cookbook for my Mom who is a brittle type 2 diabetic who recently had a heart attack. I wanted to give her meal ideas so she doesn't despair over having to limit her diet further b/c of her recent heart problems. I've only looked through it, I'm giving it to her today. But I'm really surprised at the sugar content in the recipes. I would expect 1-5 grams here & there but some of these recipes are really high. And if you are looking for a cook book that has some ideas for diabetic friendly desserts, this is not the book. Out of the 13 dessert recipes the sugar grams range from 4-26 grams; for an average grams of 12.5. I'm surprised & a bit disappointed.

Great Eats While Staying Healthy, 2008-03-25
Great cookbook, especially if you are on a restrictive diet due to medical or health related circumstances. We have tried many of the dishes and have found them to be (well, almost to be) very excellent and both flavor, texture and taste. For the health benefits derived it is totally worth the effort.

Big Help, 2008-02-18
Recently purchased to cook some meals for a neighbor who's wife passed away on Jan. 10, 2008. Was a huge help as he is diabetic and has heart disease.

Highly Recommend!, 2008-01-20
I finally found a cookbook that is healthy, user friendly & tastes like gourmet food. The recipes are all delicious & full of flavor using herbs, seasonings & rich non-fat foods that enhance the palate. I'd highly recommend this book. Since using the recipes & exercise, I have lost weight (easily done this time) & my blood glucose has decreased immensly. The only caveat is the expense involved in eating low-fat/non-fat foods. A bit pricey to keep on hand fresh veg, fruit, herbs, etc... But the benefits outweigh the cost of foods.

The 30 Day Diabetes Miracle is more effective at controlling blood sugar., 2008-01-12
This book was fine, but I highly recommend the 30-Day Diabetes Miracle series for managing your diabetes and creating a whole new healthy lifestyle! It's more in tune with "good carbs."
