My partner is a diabetic and when I cook for him, I like to provide the carbohydrate count per dish. I use the Barbara Krause book as a reference and, for the most part, find it very helpful. On occasion, however, I might make a...

Dear Kate, Dr. Richard Berstein has published a fine cookbook of recipes for diabetics following his very low carbohydrate and moderate protein approach. It has a lot of good stuff in it. I am a borderline diabetic and I do well...
