Has anyone purchased a decent every day cookbook for type 2? I'm a newby and a little bewildered. .

I find that cookbooks designed for diabetes, tend to include far too much carbohydrate {and low fat] in the recipes. I don't use cookbooks much, because I'm a competent cook and know where the carbs are, but I do have a low carb cookbook. It's called simply, !"The Low Carb Cookbook". ISBN number1-74045-393-X. It's got good looking pictures and recipes full og veggies. Lots of seafood recipes too. Wasted on me since the only seafood I like is plain white fish. Nice looking book though.

Hi Hanadr, I have looked that book up & ordered it. Thank you Justsue for posting, I now have a starting point. 
Seems from looking on here that low carb is the way to go. This disease is totally overwhelming for us newbies!! My husband has no idea what he can eat & what he can't.
Thankfully he's in the healthy zone for weight & he is very fit, & excises daily with his job. His mum was a suffer & in his case it's a genetic thingy.
Hope these recipes are not too fatty, or I will be cooking different meals for each of us! Low fat diet for me, medical reasons.
Thank you Hanadr xxx
