I love this book!
Very thorough and complete. All the information you need is here.
I like the conversational style of writing.
Gives you 'self-assessments' to determine if you are ready to move on to the next step. I like that.
I like that each step of the carb counting process is spelled out for you. It really gives you all the tools you need to 'do it yourself'.
I like the 'How To's'; very practical.
This book provides resources to find the carb counts of various foods-websites, books, etc. It is not assumed that every food you eat will be found in this book.
It gives specific examples and ways to modify meals to make them healthier when eating out and at home! For example, practical tips for eating pizza!

This book provides a step-by-step process to successfully carb count. I especially liked the table in the back that listed the carb content of various foods.

The authors present clear directions on putting carbohydrate counting into practice. Their presentation of real-world cases lends context the main points. Readers will be better able to translate and apply carbohydrate counting to their personal situation.

This is an excellent book for both consumers and professionals. It is a comprehensive resource for basic carb counting and advanced carb counting. Because of the detail, it may be a bit overwhelming for those new to carb counting.

Kameen and Hope have provided an excellent service for both diabetics and educators. Carb counting makes sense and is easy to use. I recommend this for everyone.

This book is a great resource for anyone with diabetes, newly diagnosed or who has had diabetes for years. This book teaches you how to account for the carbohydrates you are eating. It reviews how determine carbohydrates in your own personal recipes, in foods from restarants and from food that you purchase at the grocery store and then how to track your carbohydrate intake.

This book is a great starting point and/or support for carb counting. It provides much of the information a Certified Diabetes Educator would share about carb counting but certainly not a replacement for meeting with one.

An easy-to-read REAL LIFE guide to carb counting. A MUST READ for everyone with diabetes, as this book is much more than just carb counting.

A 'must have ' for anyone concerned about diabetes! This concise, informative and consumer-friendy guide delivers what it's title promises and so much more. Read from cover to cover or a few sections to start. You will find yourself referring back 'as needed' again and again.
