Library books - your libraries

[CheeseJunkie]

I've had a chat this week with local librarians.
Stuff on shelves on diabetes is severely out of date. And skewed in the 'official story' direction (load up with carbs). Huge numbers of books that are not useful/very old.

I've been invited to make suggestions for purchases.

What top 10 books would you recommend for any public library in the UK?
I'm thinking both
- explaining currently thinking
and
-dietary and other advice for way forward

the Gretchen Becker I found really useful, I bought it when I thought I was T2 and it has still been useful)
The Ragnar Hanas book is brilliant for T1s of all ages (pity about the title)

I looked at this book recently and was quite impressed ,its relatively low carb ( but not extremely LCHF) In spite of the title, which reminds me of certain diet 'gurus', itt comes from a mainstream doctor (used to be a consultant at the Bournemouth diabetes centre and now works for the International Diabetes Federation. It seems to have some affiliation with this forum

I've got Diabetes for Dummies. So far so good. Cannot remember the author

Think Like a Pancreas and Type1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults comes highly recommended as does Pumping Insulin.

What about A Step by Step Guide to Low-Carb Living by Dr Trudi Deakin

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Keep them coming!

I've found the library/borough doesn't even have old classics like Gary Taubes (Good Calorie, Bad Calories) anywhere across the borough (a dozen libraries).
So suggestions for good classics to stock would also be useful.

The copy copy I ordered of the Gretchen Becker book arrived in my post box yesterday, and I spent some time going through it last night. It looks really good.
