Editorial Review: Billing itself as a personal home nutritionist, Cook'n for Diabetics helps you plan diabetes-friendly meals for the whole family. With a particular focus on children living with the illness, counting carbohydrates is simplified while you compile nutritious and delicious menus that will please even the choosiest young palates. Unlike many cooking programs, which come with a massive archive compiled from a number of cookbooks, Cook'n for Diabetics has a tight focus and a smaller set of recipes. All of its meals come from Kids, Food and Diabetes by Gloria Loring, a cookbook which focuses on making foods children will enjoy while accommodating the specialized dietary needs of diabetics. To this end, the electronic version of Loring's work makes extensive use of features that analyze the nutritional content of recipes--not only the ones provided in the book, but any recipe you care to enter into the program.

Great Tool for Diabetics, 2003-08-12
As a diabetic of 21 years, I recently decided to go on the insulin pump. In order for me to do that my doctor told me I would need to plan out my meals and county my Carbs. This great software program has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goal. After a year of learning how to plan my meals and count my Carbs, I finally got my pump and I am loving it! This program has helped me more than I can say. It allows me to plan my meals ahead of time and know that I am getting the proper amount of Carbs, fat etc... This has also proven to be a useful tool for my family. Being married to someone who is NOT a diabetic makes it a little tough when it comes to meal time. It has helped my husband keep his diet in check as well. I would be lost without this program.

Help for Diabetics, 2000-06-10
This will be a help to any Diabetic that counts their Carbohydrates to control their blood sugar. I was disappointed that there were not more recipes, but the program allows you to add your own recipes. It also calculates all of the nutritional information for all of the recipes that you add. Now I don't have to guess the amount of carbohydrate grams in my favorite recipes.
