"Blood Sugar 101 - What They Don't Tell You About Diabetes" by Jenny Ruhl

[C*5_Dodger]

This is intended primarily for Type 2s. provides a detailed educational description about the different aspects of Diabetes. One thing that I particularly liked was her assertion that type 2 "really wasn't my own stupid fault"

I haven't read the book, but have read some of the stuf fon the website and it's very interesting. I've communicated with Jenny many times and she is a very pleasent and knowlegable person.

I am reading it at the moment though it is good and well written, I wish the blood glusose values were in both uk and us values. I have to keep refferring to the chart at the back op the book.

I am also reading this book at the moment & have to keep looking at the conversions at the back of the book, this book is easy to understand. It's certainly is an eye opener.🙂

I would really like to read this book , I know Dodger has said that it is mainly aimed at type 2's but I do still think it would be an interesting read even for a type 1 like my self . I will be making a trip to the library very soon !!

just had a quick look at it and dont really think it is of use to me, but for those going the low carb route it seems like it maybe a must have book 🙂

Yes it does seem to be a Low Carbers Bible , aimed at Type 2's though , still an interesting read but not really much in it for us Type 1's

I think you are correct - it could be used by T1s. In fact I think the author uses insulin!
