"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 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."

“At this point I have read about six books on diabetes and this one [Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible] is by far the best. I needed help with menu planning, balancing proteins, carbos, fats, calories, increasing fiber, etc. "The Diabetes Bible" does have workable recipes - the ones I have made were very tasty.”
