BOOKS and COOKBOOKS to assist in the care, prevention or treatment of Diabetes.
The books and cookbooks featured in the selection that follows were chosen with great care as to the value of the content and the reputation of the authors in the field of either diabetes care, diet or nutrition. Most of these books are published by the most highly respected authors on the subject of diabetes. However, self-diagnosis and self-treatment may sometimes be very ill advised. Make sure you discuss with your Doctor or Dietitian regarding your treatment or diet. Users of good recipe software programs for diet planning will benefit greatly by discussing with their dietitian ( UK: dietician).
The American Diabetes Association Cookbook was written by experts chosen by the ADA.
This cookbook is definitely a hybrid diet book: it offers "how-to" guidance as to diabetes care and illustrates with recipes. It goes beyond just displaying recipes. It becomes a recipe book that goes into explaining what type-1 and type-2 diabetes are all about. There is also a presentation on diet and meal or menu planning. The purpose is to explain "how to" control glycaemia (blood sugar levels) and achieve stability. This approach is very helpful to patients. The 60 recipes come with all the nutritional analysis information relevant to a diabetic condition and consequent diet. heartmonitron would recommend that, while you read the recipes, you try to read between the lines and try to see why the people at the ADA have conceived the recipes in this cookbook in such a way. You will find this exercise most rewarding.

The Betty Crocker Diabetes Cookbook: Everyday Meals, by Betty Crocker, Editors. The people at BC have enlisted the help of Dr. Richard Bergental MD, endocrinologist and diabetes specialist, and the help of the people at the Interbational Diabetes Center to produce this one.
It turns out to be more than a recipe book. All the 140 recipes included in the book feature the new "carbohydrate choices" and the classic "exchanges". It also comes with plenty of expert medical and dietary nutritional advice.
The book is very informative and even has a practical glossary of terminology, so you don't have to reach for another book for explanations.

For Parents with diabetic kids
A mom wrote this book! She brought up two kids who are afflicted with type 1 diabetes. This is a "what you should expect" book and a sort of practical guide, from a mother who has been through it.
View this book as being very different from the hM's usually austere and seriously institutional-type academic recommendations, this is not a scientific or medical book, but it rather relates the ordeal of a real mom trying to raise two children with diabetes.

Cook'n for Diabetes. CD-ROM, By American Diabetes Association and DVO, (main software program must be installed on your computer before you can use this complement). Contains 1,000 ADA diabetic diet recipes.
The editorial opinion of the heartMonitron Journals:
One of the very best, if not the best, consumer or patient-oriented recipe software programs on the market, worldwide. We simply raise our hats to both the American Diabetes Association and DVO for that one. The immediate cost ($100 to $150 with main software and books) of resorting to computer assisted meal planning and nutritional analysis may seem staggering. However, if it were to provide you with an extra ten years of healthy living, it becomes a rather very dismal expense. This Cook'n software complement is an excellent tool to manage any diabetes diet or meal plan.
On the subject of good diabetic nutrition, diet and meal planning, heartMonitron is an ardent advocate of the following procedure:
a) Acquire the most and the best of information regarding diabetic care and blood glucose control,
b) Use good relevant recipe books or cookbooks from reliable authors on diabetic nutrition as examples,
c) Go through the recipes again and again to read between the lines and understand why the"experts" are doing it this way,
d) Do use computer assisted meal planning and nutritional analysis, i.e. a good recipe or cooking software program to perfect your diet plan. You have a computer; use it to the utmost for the purpose of improving your own health and well-being..
Cook'n for diabetes contains 1,000 relevant, diabetes-dedicated recipes from the American Diabetes Association.
Enough to inspire any serious diabetic nutrition chef bent on the conception of healthy diabetic-friendly recipes.

The Joslin Diabetes Healthy Carbohydrate Cookbook, By Bonnie Sanders Polin PhD, Bonnie Sanders Polin
The title of the book describes the purpose of this "How-To" book perfectly. The authors do propose a plan to prevent diabetes. They start by briefly presenting basic facts on type 1 diabetes, type 2, prediabetes and weight loss or maintenance. They also explain the reasons behind the present diabetes and excess weight epidemic.
Then they propose a relevant diabetes prevention program. They provide proof of principles behind the program , coming from studies and clinical trials. The program is based on lifestyle changes. Our present lifestyle, where energy from food exceeds our output, is viewed as one of the causes of the problem. The importance of activity or exercise is underlined. Later they discuss how to apply the prevention program depending on whether one suffers from type 1 diabetes, type 2 or prediabetes. Factors such as hypertension and high cholesterol are also covered. The program is EXCELLENT, but is meant for those people who understand and accept that changing requires a minimum amount of effort on their part.
The book explains how to set goals and monitor compliance and performance. It suggests ways to change one's eating behavior. At the end, the authors also suggest some low-carb and low-fat cookbooks; they also provide samples of meal plans and a few recipes.
In the appendix, they provide facts on the latest scientific studies regarding weight loss and nutrition.

The Johns Hopkins Guide to Diabetes: For Today and Tomorrow (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
By Christopher D. Saudek, Richard R. Rubin, Cynthia S. Shump
By Christopher D. Saudek, Richard R. Rubin, Cynthia S. Shump
This very thorough book was written for those readers interested mainly by the subject of treating and controlling diabetes. Of course, at the beginning provides a brief overview of the types of diabetes and it discusses the diagnosis.
But the bulk of the book (from page 35 to page 191) is devoted to good glycemic or diabetic treatment and control. This part starts by presenting the subject of glycemia (blood glucose or sugar levels) and hypoglycemia. It presents the setting of goals and later proposes ways to achieve them. It discusses the need for blood sugar monitoring.
Then the authors give an introduction to nutrition therapy. This provides the reader with a good understanding as to how to plan meals and design a diabetic diet. Special dietary considerations for both diabetes types 1 and type 2 are explained. The importance of exercise in controlling blood glucose is explained
The Johns Hopkins experts then cover the medication aspect of diabetic treatment. They discuss the use of the available oral medications, the use of insulin the different types of insulin and their effects. They also present the use of insulin pumps.
A section is devoted to "dealing" or living with the diagnosis of diabetes. It covers the emotional considerations and later discusses the important topic of interacting with the health care system.
Finally, the possible health complications that may be secondary to diabetes are explained. They range from atherosclerosis and heart disease, diabetic eye disease, kidney damage, and other serious conditions. These are very good reasons for one to take good diabetes care seriously. The importance of good foot and skin care for diabetics is also covered.
The quality and relevancy of the contents of this book are very impressive, ...which is not surprising since it's a Johns Hopkins book. The Johns Hopkins Medical School and its affiliate, the Johns Hopkins (Teaching) Hospital are rated among the very best medical institutions.
