Format:Paperback
I have bought a number of "Guides for Dummies" on a wide variety of topics not to do with health, and this was up to the very high standard of all others.It is a very helpful and informative first book for those diagnosed with Raised Blood glucose levels; there is a section devoted to recipes which I have tried and my family have enjoyed, even those who do not have my condition. The only adverse comment is the size of the meals - for much larger numbers of people so they have to be scaled down. Some can be divided up and frozen in suitable sizes, but not all.

We recently found out my hubby is a diabetic. This was the first book I bought (out of 5) and the only one we refer to for answers. It is informative and so easy to read. Definitely a must for newbie diabetics.
