Diabetes & Carb Counting For Dummies

This is a fantastic book. I read it from cover to cover and it now rests between my 2 other go-to reference texts about diabetes; Bernstein's "Diabetes Solution" and Jenny Ruhl's "Blood Sugar 101". These 3 books, together, provide all the ammunition I need to keep my blood sugars under control, limit or even avoid diabetic complications and inspire me to work through and rise above the setbacks along the way. There are tips and hints about improving communications with your doctor, lots of simple strategies for carb counting. and oodles of troubleshooting ideas. It has been written for laymen, so most of the medical jargon has been dialed out. The book addresses both Type 1 and Type II diabetes and all age groups to make diabetes management for everyone a breeze. This book is a must-have for any diabetic - to be referenced again and again as needed. You'll be glad you have it in your arsenal.

I don't have Diabetes "yet". I am pre diabetes and bought this book with the hopes to correct things before they get worse. I knew nothing about diabetes before and this book is so full of good information that I can understand. You could google different things but this has it all in one handy easy to read book that you can refer back to. I have learned the art of counting carbs and how to divide up my meals, and how many carbs I should be eating a day. Honestly, way more info than my Dr. gave me for sure. Great book and I recommend it to everyone.

Book was very informative and reasonable easy to read and understand.

Sherri Shafer shares her decades of experience as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator in helping you understand the inside scoop on food choices to maximize your diabetes control. Getting diagnosed with diabetes is overwhelming. Sherri breaks it down into easy to grasp concepts. Most diabetes management is about the collective daily choices. This book is a gem in getting you the info you need to make the best choices for your health.

Same old rhetoric of the medical model which just is not working. The ADA does not work for certain. You must cut the carbs and eliminate potatoes, bread and pasta. The package came well wrapped and on time. The book was clean and in good condition.

Quick to arrive. Good shape. Pages clean. No complaints. Exactly as hoped for. TY

Can't go wrong with the dumb collection. Fool proof. Perfect for my needs..

expecting to receive a book that included charts with calorie and carb counts. I wanted it for meal planning. That said, the book appears to be informative and I expect I shall learn from it.

Great book teach you all things u have to kno about diabetes to handle it

Great book, easy to understand. Lots of bit of information I did not know

Written for both the first time diabetic or an old one like myself. Was recently changed from sliding scale to carb counting. This book covers all my questions

What a fantastic book. I have been type 1 diabetic for 32 years and the changes can be overwhelming for someone my age. This book tells it all in detail but in a way I can cope with. I am finding it very useful but also very informative. Well worth the money.

This book was not as simplified as some of the other '' Dummy'' books. I find it quite daunting to read and understand. which is very unusual for me. Not what I had expected. Delivery was spot on.
