Overview

Many questions arise about what recipes you can make after you find out you have diabetes. To answer these questions, the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) put together this brief list of diabetes cookbooks and magazines. These cookbooks and magazines have a wide variety of recipes, and they are easy to find. The recipes give diabetes exchanges and nutrition information. All the cookbooks are up to date with today's tastes and trends in foods.

You can buy many other diabetes cookbooks. Other cookbooks focus on just one type of food such as desserts or beans, or one cuisine, such as Italian or Chinese. Also, there are many meal-planning tools.
