Diabetic cookbook/recipes
My dad was just diagnosed as diabetic and he's having a hard time finding a way to cook food for himself and I wanted to get him a book or send him some recipes. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I am sorry your Dad is facing this challenge. I resource Joslin for diet and cooking ideas. My mom has been living with Diabetes for a few years. It is easily manageable by diet and medication. One of the key things to learn is that carbohydrates can adversely impact a diabetic. So you want larger portions of vegetables and smaller portions of starches. I believe Joslin has a few cookbooks too.
My husband and my father-in-law are both diabetic. I got them each "Just What the Doctor Ordered Diabetes Cookbook: A Doctor's Approach to Eating Well with Diabetes." It was written by Joseph D'Amore, MD, an internist who was a chef before he went to medical school, and his sister, Lisa D'Amore-Miller who is a nutritionist. My cousin was one of his patients which is how I found out about the book. I think it's a very simple and realistic approach to managing diabetes with food. It's worked well for us!
Good luck!
