Editorial Review: If you or a family member has diabetes, food preparation may seem like a chore or a deprivation. What can you cook that tastes good and fits the diabetes guidelines? The authors of Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies, diabetes expert Alan Rubin (who also wrote Diabetes for Dummies) and registered dietician Fran Stach, have come up with dishes that will please not just the person with diabetes but the whole family.

want to get scared?, 2008-01-08
Read the part where they discribe what happens to you as you get diabetic, and you will want to eat better, and loose weight.
Some very serious complications, so it is worth buying if you want to know everything about diabetes." This is the first "Dummies" book I have purchased. Who wants to buy a book that call's you a dum head?

A good start, 2007-07-18
i bought this book a couple of years ago, because my partner is diabetic and i wanted to know how to cook for her. the recipes in here are all good, and sound delicious, but most are too involved to be practical for everyday cooking. more helpful would have been how to make regular foods diabetic-friendly. there are some good chapters explaining diabetes and carbs and all that, but the actual cookbook part could use some work.

Very good, 2007-06-27
Unfortunately, my husband is a very picky eater and didn't care for many of the recipes but I enjoyed them (him being the diabetic). Very good information in this book.

My girlfriend who I gave it to loves it!!, 2007-03-09
Gave as gift to someone who just got diagnosed with the possibility of getting diabetes. But now I want my own copy. Just to be informed.
