This book has a lot of information that is helpful. The recipes look very tasty and I want to try them out. However the book is dense and the layout makes getting access to the actionable information more difficult than it should be. It's great as reference material but I was reading it with a mind to give to a relative with diabetes who I thought would maybe be interested in a lifestyle management approach to addressing their condition. There is no way I could give this book to them. They finally start getting things mostly dialed in by the end chapters but I think most people will put the book down long before they get to those chapters.
