Diabetic Meals in 30 Minutes?or Less! Paperback – August 8, 2006

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!

I really like this cookbook, recipes are really well itemized and ingredients are well listed and the recipes are quick and easy. I like this recipes because they help you stay on a healthy diabetic diet in a quick and easy way.

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 want quick easy meals to treat my diabetes and to eat right. This book does the job I need.

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 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.

My husband is a diabetic and he does not eat artichoke heart salad or sauteed onions and garlic. He eats plain food such as meat (mostly chicken now), potato's, vegetable (corn, green beans, carrots)and the meals in this book do not fit. I work, he works, we don't have time to sit down and write out a science project for shopping/organizing and cooking. I was very disappointed as what we need is quick plain recipes. Thank you.
