My step mom was diagnoised as a diabetic yesterday. I was a loss at what to get her for her birthday until now. She loves cookbooks, and I know she will need new ones to help her on this new lifestyle. What ones do you recomend? Thanks!!!

My mother was diagnosed about 6 months ago too. Not really sure about the cookbooks...so sorry. There are tons of recipes available on the internet in the meantime. I even think there is a magazine called diabetic living (cooking tips, etc.) in which she can subscribe to.

You must be such a thoughtful daughter. Good luck to you and your step mother!!

My mom's been diabetic for 20+ years and she has quite a few cookbooks.
I asked her which was the best and her choice is: 'Better Homes and Gardens New Diabetic Cookbook'. That may give you something to start looking at. (hehehe, my favorite of her cookbooks is 'Diabetes Cookbook for Dummies For Dummies')

Hope you find something she likes!
