The Diabetes Code Cookbook

Simple and easy recipes! Great book! I ordered one for my mother too.

Very nice cookbook to follow.

Real recipes I can make. Now let’s see how many will work for a type 1 diabetic. I’m hoping it will be great and not spike my insulin.

This cookbook gives a concisely explained, 15-page explanation Introduction of what to eat, when to eat it and other very helpful information. The bulk of the book contains a wide variety of recipes that I have enjoyed and still plan to try. I also find it helpful to have a 2-page "Pantry" section that suggests what to keep stocked so the recipe ingredients are at hand. Lastly, there are a variety of sample meal plans for those starting out with fasting, which would be helpful for those who need precise instructions to help with the learning curve of fasting. That is all the good. However, I have to deduct a start from my rating because I am used to seeing a Nutritional Breakdown of the recipe in the various diet-specific cookbooks I have collected over time. For those of us who want to track our fats, carbs, and proteins, it would be helpful to have included this information. How can the cover of the book claim "Low-Carb Recipes" and NOT provide the carbs per serving in the recipes? I personally love beets, but am avoiding them while trying to lose weight on Keto, because I don't want to eat so much of my daily carb allowance by choosing them. The Rainbow Beets with Chevre recipe looks divine, but includes 8 sm-med beets, 1/2 walnut pieces and goat cheese. The recipe does not say how many servings this recipe makes and also does not provide how many carbs, fats and protein are in each serving. This oversight is just so disappointing.

Good

This book is the best on diabetes!

Great price and condition, fast shipping!

This book is a good supplement to the information in The Diabetes Code (which we loved!), there's some good quick information about intermittent fasting and some sample diet plans to follow. But, this book would have been substantially better if it had included recipes people would want to eat. As is, this book's recipes are a little too fancy for our tastes and too time consuming for our schedules. I hope, if they make another book, they choose to consider their audience. I can see that they want to help people, but a cookbook full of recipes most people wouldn't have the time or inclination to make isn't really helpful.
