Product Description
The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Diabetes is the only guide providing up-to-date information about using the GI to help manage Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. GI experts Brand-Miller and Foster-Powell explain why diets based on low GI foods improve blood sugar control, which types of carbohydrate are best to eat, and why many so-called "taboo" foods don't really cause unfavorable effects. Practical tips advise how to use the GI to control one's blood glucose throughout the day. Grocery and pantry lists detail the best foods to have on hand, and recipes cover a week's worth of low-GI meals. Also included are GI values for hundreds of foods and beverages.

A MUST HAVE,
By StepGlen (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Diabetes: The Only Authoritative Guide to Managing Diabetes Using the Glycemic Index (New Glucose Revolutions) (Paperback)
A very good informative book BUT a little to many list's and data, but then it would not be a good reference book with out that information. Bit of a hard slog to read cover to cover but excellent as a reference book for shopping etc.The text font chosen for the bold sub headings not a good one as dificult to read, would have been better in normal font but undelined. Having said all that a useful addition to any one fighting this condition, in fact a MUST.

Comprehensive, but not entirely suited to UK readers,

This review is from: The New Glucose Revolution Low GI Guide to Diabetes: The Only Authoritative Guide to Managing Diabetes Using the Glycemic Index (New Glucose Revolutions) (Paperback)
I was initially attracted to this book by its low price. I was looking for a good, cheap guide to GI (Glycaemic Index) and this appeared to fit the bill. It's part of a series of books, each with a different slant on the GI approach to diet, in this case with particular reference to diabetes.The book is comprehensive and easy to read, covering all aspects of GI, including the science, suggested menus, case histories and tables of GI values - there's also a brief discussion about GL (Glycaemic Load) and how this can be combined into the GI philosophy, plus a Q&A section with answers to a few of the most obvious questions. From the start, my first impression was `this isn't going to please the low-carbers!', and as I progressed through the book, this conclusion was confirmed with each turn of the page. Throughout, the reader is persuaded of the benefits of a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. However, the emphasis is, as you might expect, on low GI carbohydrates. In addition, the case histories demonstrated that the book was not suggesting particularly high levels of carb consumption - generally around 200-250 grams being the recommended daily intake. This suggestion is further modified by explaining how the level of activity of the person will influence the amount of carbs needed. As a general introduction and reference I found the book to be fairly useful, although some of the menu suggestions give brand name foods not available here in the UK and measurements in 'cups' always confuse me! Again, for the low-carbers, there will be much to disagree with, but if you are reasonably active and looking to improve the balance and glucose profile of your food in general this could be a good starting point. As everyone with diabetes will know (or come to learn in the course of time), there is no `one size fits all'

GI values are important to a diabetic like myself and this guide has proved to be useful.
