5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, January 18, 2006
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.

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.
