Fantastic Book!

"What to Eat If You Have Diabetes" is a great resource for anyone with diabetes, their family members and friends. This book covers everything from the physiology of our bodies to dietary plans. It gives detailed explanations of how diabetes effects the body and what role diet and medications take in the battle against this disease.There are chapters on exercise and how to eat smart while traveling. The authors have also included a "suggested reading materials" list.

Great, solid nutritional information for diabetics!

This book has really helped me find a way to live comfortably with the limitations put on my diet by this disease. It even includes information on the use of stevia--a new, natural (non-chemical) sugar substitute readily available in health food stores. I would recommend "What to Eat" to anyone with diabetes, whether Type I or Type II.

Wonderful & Informative !

This book has two main sections. Section one explains the phisiology of diabetes and of certain foods. If you ever wanted to know exactly how certain food groups effects your body's responses, read this section. It is fascinating. The authors themselves tell you to skip this section if you have no interest in it.Section two describes exactly what foods & supplements are beneficial to eat if you are diabetic and why. It also lists foods in the category (ie: high fiber foods). That is the beauty of this book. many books tell you to eat complex carbohydrates, more fiber, etc but they hardly indentify the foods. The authors also talk about the Glyclemic index which rates foods according to how fast they convert into glucose in your body.
