Although the book sounds good, I have found most of the diabetic books to have
far more carbs than I can eat.. My mother thinking she was being helpfull, sent
me three cookbooks for diabetics she sent away for. The majority of the recipes
were for deserts, pastas, breads and rice dishes...Sigh.. Nice thought...Even
some of the books being touted as lowcarb do the same thing..
As always YMMV and this is JMO
