No information on sugar amount.:
There is no information on how much sugar is in anything in this book, it's lumped in with carbs but I want to count sugar specifically. Otherwise this would be an amazing book.
Wonderful aid to controlling diet:
I purchased this book on the advice of a friend who has diabetes. It is great for making careful eating and food shopping choices. I highly recommend it. I can use it when making a shopping list or choosing meals out in a restaurant.
Fabulous reference guide:
I have to watch my starch and sodium intake-This book was a great reference. Especially because it listed alot of the brand names. It has saved me alot of time reading labels. I just wish it were bigger -large print with a binder binding. The paperback is handy for my purse, but I loose my place alot, and have alot of post-it note markers.
This book is endorsed by The American Diabetes Assn. & The American Dietetic Assn. It should also be endorsed by The American Heart Assn. Not only does it help give the reader information needed for a diabetic, it also gives information needed for a person with heart disease.
My husband has diabetes, high cholesterol, quadruple bypass, heart disease, stroke, 100% occluded carotid artery on one side and 60-70% occluded on the other side, just to mention a FEW of his problems.
