Diabetic Meal Planning was made easy,
Planning a diabetic weekly menu which includes correct % carbohydrates, % fat, and % protein as well as correct calories, avoiding high carb foods and spacing out carbs throughout the day is like solving a 560-piece puzzle! [approx 20 food items/day x 4 variables (g carbs, g fat, g protein, total calories/food item) x 7 days].
Thankfully there are programs that help, e.g. http://www.mypyramid.gov, along with this book which makes it a lot easier!
This book has excellent tables on Starches, Fruits, Milk, Vegetables, Meat and Meat Substitutes, Fats, Sweets, & Combination Foods. These list not only the total calories and carbs, but fats, and protein as well for most of the foods listed.
In my opinion, the only thing that might make it even better might be to include recipes with Nutritional Analysis for each recipe.

|easy to understand,
Very easy to understand. Can read each chapter individually and then go on to the next one when you feel that you understand what they are trying to explain to you.

|Excellent book for those concerned about their health,
This is an excellent book published by ADA. I found it a great tool in reducing my blood sugar and I even lost 12 lbs! It gives no-nonsense advice and is straight to the point. A must for anyone with pre-Diabetes or Diabetes. It is also helpful for anyone who wants to prevent Diabetes or control it. I learned that controlling your Diabetes is not all about eliminating added sugars; the body’s blood sugar levels take a lot more than sugar into account. I feel better and have more energy as well. I highly recommend this book for anyone serious about taking charge of their own health (with or without Diabetes).
