Summary: Great for Diabetics and those who want to lose weight!!
Review: I had spent many hours reading and re-reading Nancy Peckenpaugh's little gem of a book, BEFORE I knew I was a diabetic. After learning that I was diabetic, I found myself referring to her book over and over again. It is written in laymen's terms, and is very easy to use and understand. As a result of using her book, I've lost weight, which has been helping to control my diabetes. The book has very useful, easy to understand illustrations, and it soon became very easy to remember her guidelines. I've learned a lot about how to control my diabetes and weight, and how easy it really can be, as well as how important it is. It's NOT a chore to think about what and how much you need to eat, once you've learned her basic guidelines and get to know your carbohydrates, etc. I'd recommend this book to anyone who's concerned with basic nutritional needs, help with diabetes control, and help with weight loss, etc. She's obviously a very dedicated Dietition and Diabetes Educator, and has written this book in response to her clients' needs. It's a handy size that I find easy to keep within reach!! I find it to be a useful reference tool for my needs.
