For me , it was really a very good choice to get this book, and I recommend it to averyone who has to follow a special diet for diabetic, and also anyone who want to learn to eat better.
Rating: 5 / 5
I’ve read through these recipes thoroughly and find I would be in a diabetic coma if I ate the amounts of sugars in them.
I would not recommend this book for the true diabetic. It’s more a diet weight loss book with recipes for low fat foods than it is for diabetics.

I like this book but wanted more pictures. There are other better cookbooks out there for diabetics. This one is fine and the recipes are nice but I wanted more ethnic type recipes and wanted to veer away from traditional recipes.

I have quite a few cookbooks for diabetics, not because Hubby Dub or I are diabetics, but because good food is good food. If the recipes measure up, then I want the cookbooks in my ever expanding library.
From the The New Family Cookbook for people with Diabetes I’ve found plenty of mouthwatering recipes, particularly the Italian Turkey Sausage with Peppers and Onions on page 270 and the Onion Cheese Bread on page 51 and the smell that wafts throughout your house when you’re cooking is just heavenly.
From the Diabetic Gourmet Cookbook I’ve done the Roast Chicken with Black Raspberry Sauce on page 103 and both Dub and I loved it. Sometimes it’s hard to get him to eat healthy. It helps when the meal is delicious.
From the American Diabetes Association Diabetes Cookbook I’ve done the Peppered Beef Fillet with Mashed Potato, Peas & Horseradish and Dub loved it and okay, it’s beef, sometimes if you want to keep your man, you’ve gotta give him red meat. This meal was delicious. Also from this book I’ve done the Pork & Cilantro Meatballs with Tomato Sauce (I added spaghetti) and we loved it. This cookbook is terrific, Diabetes or not.
From the Diabetes Low-Fat and No-Fat Meal in Minutes I’ve actually cooked quite a few meals. I’ve had the book a long time and know many of them by heart. Of course, I make changes here and there, but what cook doesn’t after she’s familiar with a recipe. This book is great for cooking up something fast. Good and easy recipes are what you’ll find here. One recipe I really like is the Sauerkraut Confetti Salad on page 184. Dub hates it, but I do it at least once a month anyway. He just pushes it around on his plate, till I give him a glare, then he takes a bite or two. Sauerkraut is good for you and you don’t have to always at ham, fatty sausage, and franks to it.
Lastly, for this posting, I’d like to talk about three of the meals I’ve prepared from The Joslin Diabetes Quick and Easy Cookbook. The Bow Ties with Asparagus, Cherry Tomatoes and Mushrooms on page 86 is very good and it’s a very good way to use bow tie pasta. I’m a sucker for anything with tomatoes in it, so I was predisposed to like this, but it exceeded my expectations. For Sunday brunch you might want to try the Garden Frittata on page 26. It’s a delicious pancake-style omelet. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention one of my favorite all time recipes, the Turkey Scaloppine Marsala on page 133. There are a lot of good recipes in this book.
These five cookbooks all have one thing in common, they are full of good recipes. The fact that they are also diabetic cookbooks shouldn’t put you off from getting them and trying out some of the recipes. You will find a lot of fine meals you can enjoy in these books.
