"…You'll learn how food effects your blood glucose and how to move toward a healthier way of eating. You'll see that with a little creativity, you can live well within what can be quite comforting, good-tasting limits…You've made an excellent choice of information. Now read, learn, and inwardly digest a very reasonable approach, based upon excellent, up-to-the-minute science."

—Graham Kerr (a.k.a The Galloping Gourmet)

"Many cookbooks include the word 'bible' in the title. Few cookbooks merit it. An exception is The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible…The result is a book that not only debunks modern myths…The recipes are simple and streamlined…It's an interesting read not only for individuals diagnosed with or predisposed to diabetes, but anyone concerned about sound eating practices."

"…No diabetics's reference shelf and cookbook collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of The Diabetes Food & Nutrition Bible!"
