What makes a cookbook diabetes-specific?Every publisher has different guidelines for calling a cookbook diabetes-specific. Some are published by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and are often reviewed by an ADA member to ensure they align with the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes and other policies held by the ADA. All diabetes-specific cookbooks should be seen as guidelines and are not meant to be used as a prescription for any disease or condition, according to disclaimers of ADA published books.
