Reader and reviewer Bonnie Jo Davis says:

“Although I am not yet a diabetic I suffer from Metabolic Syndrome and struggle with obesity and hypoglycemia.  I was thrilled when I learned about The EVERYTHING Diabetes Cookbook.  This well written and researched book not only includes recipes such as chocolate cheesecake mousse, honey and cider glaze for baked chicken and tomato and cucumber salad with mint but also covers the mechanics of diabetes and how to live a healthier lifestyle.  I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to eat well while learning how to manage their diet.”
