CARB & CALORIE COUNTER from Diabetes UK

[SB2015]

The book is called Carbs & Cals.
You can also get an app on your phone with the same photos,
which makes it a bit easier to access when out and about.

Thank you so much .

they also do a pocket version, but it has reduced content and no index, so more difficult to use.

Hi SkinnyLiz,
Thank you so much for your info any help is gratefully received , I feel lost at the moment and first time I have had to have insulin , watching what I eat is now so important after having ketoacidosis attack for the first time and it was apparently a good thing my son got 999 help when he did . I had 4 paramedics all doing things to me and one said to my son that if he had waited another hour it would have been a different story ! so this book will help enormously , I have to do insulin twice a day and bloods 4 times a day , with district nurses coming twice a day .

The book has just arrived, all my prayers answered, simple with lots of photos,
I was diagnosed in early August 2017, and the Calories and Carbs have been a complete mystery to me, Strongly recommend this book to any other newly diagnosed.
Thanks Diabetes UK for the fast delivery of this wonderful book from your online shop
Cheers clive55555

I had this book delivered today. It looks as though it can answer a lot of questions. I'm working on a 50g of Carbs per meal. However, the book seems to give carbs, but not how much sugar is contained. I assume, the lower the carbs, the lower the sugar..... I'm pre Diabetic with Hbac of 6.0. I want to keep healthy.

Ann - sugar is near enough 100% carbohydrate hence if you know the carb the sugar is within that.

100g carb from sugar will cause you to put on exactly the same amount of weight as 100g carb-worth of tomatoes - the only difference to your body is you'll get more exercise eating the tomatoes and at least there's some fibre and trace elements in toms, so they'd do you more good and not rot your teeth!
