 Practical nutrition tips to reduce food costs and time in the kitchen January 26, 2010
Nadine Uplinger (Philadelphia, PA)
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
This is a great book for people who are struggling with what they can eat after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. People are typically very confused about what they can eat and think they need to give up all of their favorite foods. The authors provide sound nutrition information in a clear and concise manner and relate it to everyday eating with helpful tips. They also offer nutrition facts plus resources for obtaining additional information if the reader is interested.
What I especially liked is how they incorporated practical information along with the facts. They point out cost and time saving measures when shopping and preparing foods. At the same time that the importance of eating good food to manage type 2 diabetes is emphasized the reader can benefit from their tips about the important role food plays in our lives and the comfort it provides. Reading food labels is broken down into components that are understandable. They encourage the reader to set their own goals and provide reinforcement and encouragement throughout the book. This helps the reader recognize the types of small changes they can make in their food selections to improve their overall health.
I highly recommend this well written book and give kudos to the authors for coming up with the facts, practical tips and great recipes that use readily available ingredients.

learning how to enjoy food when you have diabetes February 13, 2010

What Do I Eat Now? helps anyone to fit a new or an existing diagnosis of diabetes into their "pre - diagnosis" lifestyle. Real life problems are discussed with simple, clear, step-by-step directions to change favorite recipes as well as how to steer through every-day food choice challenges. My favorite chapter's discuss how to deal with special occasions (chp 10) and what to choose for daily snacks (chp 7). In my 20 years working with people who live with diabetes I find these are the 2 areas that are the most difficult to manage. Working with a Registered Dietitian to develop a healthy diet is essential but having this book on a shelf at home will help build self-management skills and decisions made all day long. It is a `must have' item for every person with diabetes.

A Must Have! February 16, 2010
David K. Miller (Hope, IN USA)
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
As a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) the first question that my patients ask is what can I eat? They hear so much false information that they don't know where to begin. This book provides patients with tools and recipes for anyone with diabetes (or pre-diabetes) to follow. What I like most is that my patients can answer the "next steps" sections and at the end of the chapters and they will have created an action plan to help them control their diabetes. I will recommend this book to all of my patients!
Build your confidence on what to eat when you have diabetes January 29, 2010

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The title of this book says it all. If you have diabetes and have questions about what you should eat, this book will help you get started one step at a time. The information in the book is well formatted and very easy to read and understand. It is obvious that these two registered dietitians have lots of experience providing practical advice to people with diabetes.
If you are confused about carbohydrates, portion sizes, modifying your favorite recipes, reading labels, or what to eat, when eating out, this book explains it all in simple terms. This book is a confidence builder. Great book for yourself, or someone you know who has diabetes and is not sure what to eat.
Simplify your life with diabetes. February 2, 2010

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a must-have book for anyone who has just been diagnosed with diabetes or for those who have had diabetes and would like a meal plan make-over. If eating healthy seems challenging and complicated this book will ease your mind and help you improve your diabetes control. The authors tell you exactly, "what to eat" in an upbeat, easy to understand format.
The best part about this book is the menus and recipes found in every chapter. There are even examples of how to make recipes healthier, how to read food labels in three easy steps, why keeping track of carbohydrate is important, and much, much more!
If you want to simplify your life with diabetes, this is the book for you!
