Can anyone recommend a good cookbook for Diabetics?

[GlenBarrington]

Yep, the all too common problem of being middle-aged and living in the first world! And I spend an hour a day in the gym!

I prefer an eBook that would work on either my Kindle fire or Sony ebook reader, but I would settle for printed. I gotta get this food thing under control.

You might find this one of use Glen.

Sounds like the author's aught to know what they're talking about. I can sympathize as I also have Diabetes and my blood sugars bounce around a bit during the day.
Amazon US

I'm a lousy, lazy cook, so I don't know about good, but this one is currently temporarily free (probably good for the next few days) from a reputable publisher, if you have a US Amazon account (may eventually also drop at B&N and/or Kobo):

Diabetes Cooking 101: Master Diabetes Cooking with 101 Great Recipes edited by Perrin Davis, out from Agate Surrey who've given us a fair amount of official publisher promo freebies, many of them having to do with food (and sports, and Chicago).

Thanks for the link ATDrake. I don't cook often either. Far easier to count carbs that are pre made out on labels.

It is still available for free as I type this

We have some Canadian Diabetes Association cookbooks that are pretty good. They are available on amazon.ca, but I don't know if they are available to a US IP address.

Have you looked at the American Diabetes Association website recipes:

Yes, I've been going to the ADA website, some good stuff there. I've been wanting to look for stuff that I might not know about or which come from publishers I've not heard of.

Agate Surrey have made temporarily free (probably just until the weekend) at Amazon for US accounts a companion edition to the book they freebied upthread:

Diabetes Snacks, Treats, and Easy Eats for Kids: 130 Recipes for the Foods Kids Really Like to Eat by the same authors as the previous. While this doesn't seem to have the same level of medical dietary advice as the last one, at least it probably expands your circle of usable quick recipes?
