From Library Journal

A 30-year diabetic, Juliano understands the importance of the diabetic's diet as well as human nature, which invariably tries to break that diet. The first portion of his book discusses how diabetics can deal with party, restaurant, and holiday foods and goes on to cover snacks, sweeteners and desserts, salads, vegetables, and fruits. The positive aspects of a healthy diet are stressed. Juliano teams up with veteran chef Young in the second half of the book, which is devoted to tasty, easy-to-follow recipes that list appropriate dietary exchanges, calories, fat, serving size, and so forth. While not a basic book that explains the use of exchange lists, this would be an excellent addition to the diabetic cookbook shelf. Recommended for informed readers.

From Booklist

The words "balance," "moderation," and "sensible" apply well to Juliano's treatise on living with diabetes. The problem is, most Americans--and even the 15 some million now diagnosed with the disease--simply plug up their ears when the dreaded words are discussed. Yet the good doctor, himself a diabetic, explains well how to cope with all sorts of life occasions, including holidays, restaurants, parties, and travel. His colleague, chef Young, then whips up about 145 recipes, all intended to fit within the diabetic exchange list. The substitution of herbs and spices for unnecessary fats, and the emphasis on grains and vegetables should come as no surprise even to those not medically restrained. Barbara Jacobs
