Betty Crockers Diabetes Cookbook
Betty Crockers Diabetes Cookbook Everyday Meals Easy as 1 2 3
At last! This special cookbook puts flavor and choice back on the menu for people with diabetes and their families
Betty Crocker, America’s most trusted friend in the kitchen, has teamed up with the International Diabetes Center (IDC)–one of the leading medical centers–to create an indispensable source of easy-to-make recipes and up-to-the-minute food and nutrition information for the growing numbers of people who have diabetes, more than 15 million of them.
Here is the first cookbook to include recipes featuring Carbohydrate Choices–the new, simplified approach to meal planning recommended by the American Diabetes Association. For people who find diet exchanges too hard, too limiting or too much work, this new method is a real breakthrough. Each of the book’s 140 recipes shows the number of Carbohydrate Choices per serving, so that planning the rest of the meal is easy. From Old-Time Beef and Vegetable Stew to Creamy Vanilla-Caramel Cheesecake, the recipes are made with everyday ingredients, including sugar. No food groups or ingredients are left out, so there’s no need for anyone to feel deprived or restricted to a special diet. Food exchanges are also included, making it easy for those who still count calories.
Betty Crocker’s Diabetes Cookbook is also packed with expert medical and nutrition tips from Dr. Richard Bergenstal, an endocrinologist and diabetes doctor, and two registered nurses–invaluable for the newly diagnosed as well as for those who have been coping with diabetes for years. Throughout the book, real-life advice from people who have diabetes offers inspiration and great ideas on dealing with this chronic disease. When it comes to eating and living with diabetes, people need guidance and advice they can trust.

5 Stars 123 Cookbook
I am extremely happy with this transaction. It was delivered earlier than promised and in excellent shape.
5 Stars Finally a cookbook for diabetics that calls for “real” ingredients!
Most cookbooks I’ve seen for diabetics call for all sorts of “fake” ingredients that I find totally unappetizing. This book, however, uses mostly “real” ingredients and has recipes that the whole family can enjoy. One of the horrifying things about being a diabetic is being “different”, having to eat “different” foods and substitutes for the real thing. The recipes in this book sound really appetizing and the pictures make me want to run to the market so that I can start cooking. There are even dessert items like Double-Berry Muffins that don’t call for any strange ingredients. It even gives you a choice of using a real egg or a fat-free, cholesterol-free egg product if you have a cholesterol problem. I admit I haven’t read ALL the recipes yet, but of all the ones I HAVE read, the ingredients are readily available in regular supermarkets. No special trips to the health food store required. I would highly recommend this cookbook for diabetic who, like me, don’t like to feel deprived and don’t like to eat a lot of fake ingredients. (They give me gastric problems!)
5 Stars Great starter cookbook for newly diagnosed diabetic!
Wonderful hardcover cookbook. Very useful information not found in any of the other diabetic cookbooks. Great recipes and I really like the illustrations. We’re making the caramel cheesecake for Thanksgiving. Easy 1,2,3 system to track carb levels.
5 Stars Love this book!
I have several diabetic cookbooks and this is my favorite. I love the double berry muffins! My husband is thrilled with his new diabetic options. Easy to follow and well organized.
4 Stars Good for a teen
This proved to be a good choice for a teen whose mother had recently been diagnosed as diabetic. It got used.
