Product Description

Synopsis
We've been avoiding fat that can be processed away and doing nothing about the carbohydrates that really make the stuff. The solution is simple - re-educate ourselves about carbs, and we'll be amazed at the difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most updated UK food carb counter booklet, 15 Feb 2009
By Laila King "Diabetes Expert" (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has proven invaluable for people who want to learn to carb count and then go on to adjust their insulin dosages - either in multiple injection treatment or insulin pump therapy. I am a Nurse Consultant and train people in that situation both in small groups and one-to-one. This book refers to most commonly eaten and available UK foods and products in the portion size the item comes (e.g., scone or blueberry muffin) or per 100g portions.
I recommend this to everyone grappling to understand how to match the starchy food they are going to eat to the dose of rapid-acting insulin they need to shoot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy but flawed, 20 April 2009
By A. Butler "tanj666" (Coventry, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this after recomendations from various people who said it was a good guide now that I'm carb counting.

While it does list a very wide number of food types, it measures the items in subjective units such as 'handfuls'. Now I don't know about you, but I don't tend to fondle my food before eating it just to see how many handfuls of it I have.

Useful, but flawed.
