Great Diabetic Infomation:

The great thing about this book is it really explains Diabetes and and how Nutrition works and gives so much needed information. Very good and easy to understand and has all the Calorie, Carbohydrate Counters. It's kind of like Diabetes for Dummies...

Very helpful book:

And there are even charts of many well-known eating establishments and how to count carbs when eating "in" or "taking out".
