In fulfillment of their mission to improve the lives and health of people affected by diabetes, the American Diabetes Association has come out with a new instruction manual about counting carbohydrates to assist in the planning of meals and management of glucose levels for men and women who have to deal with diabetes in their daily lives. Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Complete Guide To Carb Counting by diabetes treatment experts Hope Warshaw and Karmeen Kulkarni covers the basics of carb counting, as well as protein, fat, and alcohol counts, how to figure and manage restaurant meals, blood glucose pattern management, common questions and answers, and much more. A no-nonsense, plain-terms guide, that walks the reader through simple formulas that anyone can follow and adapt.

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.

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 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.

I found this book very helpful finding the foods I eat regularly and how many carbs each food has. Thank you

This is a great book, i am a newly diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic and found the book to be most helpful in learning about Carb Counting.

by Hope S. Warshaw - Excellent service and very useful informative book.
We use it daily to learn to deal with diabetes. THANK YOU!

This is a very handy and excellent source for people with Diabetes, or
for anyone else who most restrict their carbs on a daily basis. It is
very easy to use.

Very important information to help anyone with carb counts. Highly recommend.

ADA Complete Guide to Carb Counting is an excellent refresher on Carb Counting for the Diabetic. I have been insulin dependent for decades but when blood sugar started going up I was back to counting carbs for my doctor. I needed a refresher course. This was perfect and a good reference to have on hand.
