Well worth it if you want/ need to watch your carb intake. Helped me enormously to control BGs.
You can easily which foods have what in them - useful indeed.

Thanks Alanp35 it had 2 good reviews definitely think I need extra help.
Have a good christmas.
 
Got my copy of Carbs & Cals last year, it's a great visual guide to carb counting and comes in handy for those of us who are insulin dependant.

I don't see why not, it's good to know the carb content of food no matter what diet you follow to control your diabetes.

Thank you so looks like a no brainer will be buying the book,did check to see if they had it on the ap store they had others but not that one.
 
Snowy, it's my Bible! I could not have managed without it when I was first starting out, and still use it all the time. Brilliant. The book is better than the app.

Thanks Blutit definately ordering it,I need to find a wider range of foods to eat so hopefully this will help me.
 
I have it. Good to get a visual sense of what a certain amount of food looks like as it's so easy to underestimate how much we eat.

Go the the Carb & Cals website, you can download the app from there Snowy.
 
Had to pop out this morning,managed to buy the book last one on the shelve.
I had a quick flick through it and it is great.
Thank you all for your much appreciated advice I am excited now.

Don't know if it's the same one as I've got - Mines a Collins Little Gen and it's been really useful to check up on carbs, especially when out and you don't have the packaging to refer to. It's quite small so slips in my handbag. You'll find it really useful
 
Thanks Chris not sure if they are the same,but I cannot put the book down it is great and I would definately recommend it.
Hope you had a lovely time over Christmas.

Hope you had a great Christmas.
