Just because you have diabetes doesn't mean you can't enjoy life, eat well, and live healthy!
Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes begins with a detailed, but non-technical overview of diabetes, specifically Type II diabetes. Elaine clearly presents the latest medical findings on what causes diabetes, available treatments, and the dietary implications of this disease.
This revised edition of Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes includes: * How to use an individualized carbohydrate budget. * Practical tips to lower dangerous blood lipids. * Quick guide to understanding and using the glycemic index and glycemic load. * Revolutionary fiber tips (because you can't talk about carbohydrates, Type II diabetes, and great health without factoring in fiber). * A list of new foods that may actually help people with Type II diabetes. * Everything you need to know about alternative sweeteners.
What's new in this edition? * An updated section on trans-fatty acids and how to be a "trans-fat" detective. * A new section on smart snacking. * The 10 food steps to freedom. * The latest research and findings on diet and Type II diabetes. * The key steps that have been particularly successful for weight loss in people with Type II diabetes.
Tell Me What to Eat If I Have Diabetes includes dozens of healthful, practical, mouth-watering recipes, plus supermarket and restaurant advice. The recipes all include familiar, easy-to-find ingredients, and involve minimal preparation time.

Good Reference book for newly Diagnosed Diabetic
Review Date: August 25, 2010
Reviewer: Kat,
This is a quick and easy read at 217 pages and recently updated. Mrs Magee sets it mostly up like a question and answer format. Has good large print for those of us who are having eye problems due to our diabetes. There are good and SOUND reference as to what to eat, carbs, restaurants, glycemic index and glycemic loading [etc]. Which after reading several books on glycemic index, it makes more sense in Mrs Magee's book that the other three I've read. BUT I still dont understand glycemic index and glycemic load. Will admit, I'm a bit lazy about weighing food and doing the math. :) There are good recipe exchanges and suggestions. She does have a few restaurant carb breakdown listings. Overall this is a good reference book on nutrition ONLY!!
Excellent source of information

Reviewer: Kris,
I knew nothing about type 2 diabetes when I was diagnoised with it 3 weeks ago. I was sent home with very little information from my doctor other than the damage it can cause to my body and health. I was scared to eat anything because I didn't know what to eat. I got on Amazon.com and ordered 4 books. Of the 4 books I ordered, this book was extremely helpful. I am starting to see my glucose levels come down. And feeling a little more relaxed. I highly recommend this book.

My mother was diagnosed with diabetes about fifteen years ago. When I was diagnosed recently, I started with a few advantages over most. I was prepared to accept that I had a disease that I knew was coming. I knew what diabetes was, what it meant, and the basics of how to deal with it. Unfortunately, my mother never really tried to control her diabetes. Rather than watching her diet, she chose to let it progress to the point where she has to take medicine to control it. I can't turn to her for advice on my eating habits. Can I have a milkshake with lunch? How does fruit compare to candy? Does this mean no more morning hot chocolate?! I was about ready to just declare myself 100% sugar free and get it over with. But then a friend showed me this book. I now know that with my exercise routine and some caution, I can have that milkshake. Fruit is better but I can't eat a ten-gallon bucket's worth. A small bit of morning hot chocolate will actually help me feel better (avoiding hypoglycemia). So glad I bought this book.
