Did not read every word, particularly of the recipes. My husband really needs to see a nutritionist and get a meal plan so he can do conversions, because he's not happy with me telling him that if he'd eaten only what I served him (rather than supplemental snacks, treats, second helpings, and fast food sneaks) ever since he developed pre-diabetes he would not be in the mess he is now.

I saved the cheat sheet for portion sizes before returning this to the library. But otherwise the advice is almost completely similar for people trying to eat healthfully for weight-loss or cardio benefits or whatever. A diabetes diagnosis just hits harder, I guess. Maybe he'd pay attention to a dietician. He's not reading any of the books I bring home.

I can't say I really enjoyed this book. It's not that kind of book. I did like how well this was written and how informative it was. I liked the layout and the simplicity of the explanations and suggestions. You have to remember, these are suggestions, as everyone is different. I got a really good load of facts and have learned a lot. This book is a dip in the pool, just wading, not full-on immersion. I liked some of the recipes, but a lot either weren't to my taste or aren't something feasible for me to make. However, they did give a ton of good guidelines and seemed to send me towards the right path. Good for the beginner and not too much overload. Good luck.

There are far better and more sophisticated cookbooks on diabetic cooking available now...I only found a few options that I would consider. If you are an accomplished cook, I would look elsewhere for recipes suited to the needs of diabetics. In addition, the book uses a lot of expensive luxury ingredients: scallops and crabmeat turn up quite a bit – diabetic recipes don't have to be that costly.

Pretty clear and concise.
