1. Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies

It seems the "Dummies" series covers everything and anything – including diabetic recipes. The “Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies” includes not only recipes but also tips for your diet. Inside, you can find advice for dining out, planning meals, grocery shopping and more.

The sections break down like a usual cookbook, with recipes for breakfast, appetizers, soups, salads, grains and legumes, vegetables, seafood, poultry, meats, snacks and desserts. The book also names restaurants that share their recipes, so you can check them out for yourself. It’s a great book not only for cooking better meals but also for making more health-conscious decisions.
