A valuable resource for diabetics,
Like other “for dummies” books, this one breaks down some pretty complex subjects into smaller bites, written in language that’s easy to understand. The chapters cover such subjects as recognizing carbs in the foods you eat, tracking carbs through the body, finding the right amount of carbs for you, timing your carbs consumption each day, deciphering food labels, and sugar vs. substitutes. There’s also a selection of sample menus for healthy meals and tips on exercising for better health.
This book, written by a diabetes educator, is packed with valuable information, whether you’re a diabetes “newbie” or have been struggling with the disease for years.
