I was disappointed that this book is so US orientated, using food swaps, etc which we don't in the UK. Everything is measured in cups, quarts, etc. and uses unfamiliar ingredients, eg Graham Crackers.
You don't get to recipes (in a cookbook?) until page 121 and then they are really not very interesting, with far too many ingedients that seem unneccessary: what difference would 1/8 tsp of black pepper make in a soup that has 2 quarts of water and a pound and a half of beef? What the heck is a 'whisper' of pepper anyway? How different is it from 1/16 tsp which is the smallest amount mentioned?
If you are diabetic and like to eat well, Anthony Worrall Thompson's GI and diabetic diet books are a much better bet.
