Diabetic Meals in 30 Minutes?or Less!

I was hoping for some easy recipes to help get my A1C down and not have to go on medication. Cooks think they have to come up with exotic ingredients that a person doesn’t normally have in the pantry to make a meal. Sorry, but I feel it was a waste for me to purchase this book.

I originally purchased this cookbook for my Dad, who is a Type II Diabetic and normally doesn't cook much since Mom died. I flipped through it and tagged at least 15 different recipes that I wanted to try for myself. This is a great all around cookbook for several reasons:* all of the recipes use nutritious, natural foods that are readily available* most of the recipes call for only a few ingredients, so even those new to cooking will be successful* the basic dishes are done in no time and can be frozen* the recipes can be easily doubled or tripled* it offers a delicious variety that are delightful and satisfyingI'm a professional firefighter/paramedic and I can tell you from experience that Type II Diabetes is in fact, becoming an epidemic. Firefighters have to watch what we eat as well, which is not always easy, because we need it to be fast, filling and able to withstand being reheated over and over again (since mealtime is usually interrupted). High fat, high salt and high cholesterol may be tasty, but they'll kill you. This book offers wonderful recipes that fit the bill and I should know - I've made them with fantastic results!

Just glancing at the recipes I can't wait to get this book in my kitchen.I have just started to take insulin and the goal for this book is to teach me how to cook good meals that will not keep my sugar levels out of wack. Also I don't want to gain weight while using insulin. I have 2 cook books already but I think that I am going to like this one because the meals are fast and don't take a lot of effort to get them on the table.I will be back when I try a few to let you know how they came out tastewise as well as economic. I know my husband will like anything that I prepare but my taste buds will be the judge.

I really like this book. People with diabetes are usually just as busy as anyone else, and have limited time to prepare meals. The special diet needed to control diabetes pretty much eliminates "fast food" restaurants, which means more - and sometimes different - home-cooked meals. This author clearly understands this and addresses it effectively. She gives good tips on timesaving techniques, including planning your menus and recipes before shopping so that you have what you'll need on hand.In fact, it's a good book for anyone who wants to maintain a good, healthy diet when time is at a premium.This is certainly the first book I would recommend to anyone who has diabetes.

I am always hesitant to buy a cookbook on line because I really want to go through the book to see if I'll actually USE the recipes. When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, this was the first book I bought and I have made several of the recipes since I got it and all were very good!!!! I'd highly recommend this one!

I got this book for my mom after she suffered a mild stroke. She loves cooking and has tons of cookbooks but after her stroke she's been having a hard time seeing, and having the energy to find and make a recipe from her many books.This makes cooking for her a lot easier because it doesn't take a long time to make the recipes in here and it's healthier than what she was eating before the stroke. She's a lot better now and completely independent but this book is a great go-to guide for a quick, healthy meal.

Two members of our family are now diabetic and the recipes in this book were simple and easy to make.

Good, easy to prepare meals with easy to find ingredients. I like the fact that they require little time to prepare as they fit in will with a busy lifestyle.

I have yet to try a recipe that is not very tasty. It really takes under 30 min prep and cooking. Just the ticket during the week!
