Diabetes is a big concern in my family because my grandmother (we just recently found out) is currently living with it. The most difficult part of living with this illness is the diet. My grandmother prided herself on her ability to eat and cook whatever she wanted whenever she wanted to. Diabetes seemed to change all that..When I came across a book that could possibly provide some support for her making the transition to eating more "insulin-friendly", I jumped on it. This book opened my own eyes to the variety of food that diabetics can enjoy. Like everyone else, I am ashamed to admit, I thought that a recipe book for diabetics would be severely limited and bland. I was actually quite surprised by the types of recipes that were mentioned in this book. Some of them included:* Whole-grain pancakes* Muffin parfaits* English muffin with sausage & cheese* Breakfast pizzaThe recipes that I looked so simple and delicious that I am copying some down for my own personal use. (There are even low-carb options -I am a paleo eater).Another good thing about this book is that it divides the recipes into the type of diabetes (Type I or II), which I had not seen in other diabetes books I glanced. Most of them just lumped all diabetes recipes into one book, which doesn't make sense because each person's experience with diabetes is different.The book is quite short and fast, but it does serve its purpose of getting you to open your eyes and taste buds to want to venture outside the typical "diabetic" recipe book. I agree with the other reviewer who posted that they are waiting for upcoming editions to this book.Great book for opening you recipe book if you have or know someone with diabetes!
