Sofiel: When one is facing a new diagnosis of diabetes it can be terrifying. The simple joy found in eating can loom in front of you like a dreaded chore instead of a time of delicious enjoyment. Worry can consume you all day about carbohydrates you've eaten- too much or not enough. Blood glucose levels out of control don't help get your A1C in the range it should be. We understand. We went through this after my husband was diagnosed with diabetes. Of Cuban Italian descent, he loved his pasta, breads and sweet desserts. Suddenly these treasured foods became the enemies. We had to completely overhaul our cooking and meal design. It was an overwhelming and trying time until a dietitian recommended this book. The worry, the fears and the confusion gradually faded into the background as we taught ourselves a new and improved way to cook and eat. It's been over five years since his diagnosis and this book is still a treasured reference to make healthy meals. I recommend it to anyone with diabetes and/or heart disease.

Dr. James F. Daiker: This set of recipes are basically good. For me the need to combine low sodium and low carb will require adapting many of the recipes. However, most are adaptable. Most of the adapting comes with the sodium side. By using appropriate substitute ingredients the higher sodium levels can be brought down. Published in 2014 I was surprised that the "heart healthy" aspect of the recipes were not more considerate of the 1500 mg per day limit recommended for persons with heart conditions. With an average of 450 mg. per meal (leaving 150 for snacks) some of the single meal items would quickly push a meal over the 450 mg limit. With diabetics needing an evening snack, the 150 mg. limit would also not leave much room for some of those food items. Overall the book provides valuable food preparation possibilities and is certainly worth the money. I borrowed a copy from our public library and reviewed and tested some of the recipes, then decided it was a good buy.
