Excellent book January 18, 2006
Format:Paperback
I was newly diagnosed type 1 in June 2005. This is by far the best of all the books I have read. It gives excellent information and guidelines on how to eat healthy and keep tight control of your blood sugar using the carb counting method. Very informative and very helpful at a time when I felt so confused trying to deal with my diabetes.

Format:Paperback
I was very disappointed that this 251 page book had only 16 pages of specific foods and their carbs and calories. It should have been promoted as a guide to diabetes management as that's what the text focuses on far more than carb counting.

This is a good resource but it takes quite a bit of time to make plans and progress - guess there is no easy way, just like life itself.

guide to carb counting
This book was OK for basic information, but not up to date on current requirements suggested by the ADA. It's publication date is not that old, so I felt it was way off base.
