Diabetic Living Diabetic Slow Cooker: 151 Cozy, Comforting Recipes

I'm a diabetic using an exchanges diet to lose weight and control my Glucose. This book gave me everything I needed. The serving size, the nutritional numbers and exchanges. I've seen a number of diabetic cookbooks that don't give you everything you need. By the way, someone mentioned there are no serving sizes listed. Every recipe DOES show serving sizes. The nutritional values are usually near the bottom of the page, and the serving sizes are generally near the the top of the page.What I love about this book is that it's full of comfort food recipes, all of which have been reworked to fit our diets. I can't stand the thought of a piece of dry Chicken and a serving of Vegetables on my plate every night. This gives you everything from Pot Roast to Meatball sandwiches. My wife who isn't diabetic enjoys the dinners that this book makes possible also. The recipes almost always make 4 or more servings. That's okay with me. I measure everything out, and freeze the extra portions individually for later. Even reheated, these recipes taste better than any Lean cuisine or similar frozen dinner I've ever had.One caveat though. The exchanges they list are not always accurate. I've seen them list 28 grams of Carb as 1 carb exchange (that's almost 2 exchanges) and 10 grams of fat as 1 exchange (it's 2.) However, anyone who is following exchanges has to know how many grams makes up a serving. The grams are all listed, so I take that into consideration at mealtime, or adjust the recipe in advance to compensate. I was going to give it 4 stars because of that, but since all the info is there, I went with 5.I would recommend this to anyone, diabetic or not. But especially those of you like me, that can't say goodbye to certain foods.

I was recently diagnosed as a Type II diabetic two years ago, just a few months after finding out I have quite a few food allergies (a lot of fruits and tree nuts). I've been struggling finding things to eat that was "healthy" and something that wouldn't send me to the hospital at the same time. I purchased this book, along with the other book from the same publisher, and I've been enjoying the recipes. Course, the second time I make the recipe I do tweak the ingrediants just a bit (i.e. add a bit more of this or use less of that). One of my favorite recipes in this cookbook is the Turkey Tortellini Soup. Though, when I first made it I did not find turkey breast so had to use chicken. Either way, it was amazing. My mother (who is always skeptical about diabetic food) even enjoyed it. I've also made the Mediterrainian Chuck Roast for Easter 2015, and it was a hit! My grandmother, also Type II, loved it. I'm glad I purchased this book.

When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes, we made a concerted effort to change our diet. He has since lost 50 lbs and is maintaining a healthy blood sugar. The biggest part of his success is due to diet, but it can be cumbersome to count carbs when cooking at home and it is easy to get in a cooking rut. Thankfully, we found this cookbook. We had been using the Diabetes Meals by the Plate cookbook, which is also really great, but can be a bit time consuming with prep and cooking times. The Diabetic Slow Cooker recipes are the perfect solution for when we just can't commit the time to meal preparation: most of the recipes take a short amount of time to prep and then cook while we are at work. When we get home, viola, dinner is done! We particularly like the brisket and pulled pork. We've only found one recipe that was a miss, which is pretty good considering we've covered a good third of the book so far.

I have bought quite a few diabetic cookbooks & this is the ONLY ONE I keep coming back to! The recipes are real easy to follow! My hubby has been loving everything I cook out of it!

We haven't tried many of these recipes yet, but in flipping through the cookbook most of them look appealing. Also, there are some recipes that are not for a crockpot, which to me is a plus as it provides additional options. However if you're looking only for crockpot or slow cooker recipes you should know that some of these recipes are not geared for that, although the bulk of them are.

Quality made book with great color pics and instructions. I saw a lot of recipes that really look good, and I'm looking forward to making them. Nice that these recipes are for everyday. Also great value.

I was expecting to read some crappy recipes in here, because, hey it's for diabetics! BUT...... have enjoyed quite a few of them and Love the recipes I have used so far. Worth the price and recipes.

this book is nice. I wanted to use for a lower carb diet . Have not got into it yet but seems like a fair bookWish it had more information as to why one food should be eaten or another avoided and why .Some of the foods listed I was told should not be eaten, but i see they are here and I have and do eat themSo a little more of why or why not information would have been nice.

Great variety of Diabetic recipes for the slow cooker and with products you actually find in the grocery stores. Nice book

Interesting recipes with accompanying photos make this an easy book to follow.

Good book.
