Reviews

"With Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible ...you'll learn how food affects your blood glucose and how to eat healthier. You'll see that with a little creativity, you can live well within what can be quite comforting, good-tasting limits...Now read, learn, and inwardly digest a very reasonable approach."
—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 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."
—Washington Post Food Section
“In The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible, Hope Warshaw and Robyn Web effectively collaborate to draw upon their more than twenty years of experience with the challenges of a diabetic lifestyle. No diabetics's reference shelf and cookbook collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of The Diabetes Food and Nutrition Bible!”"

“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.”
