What books do you all recommend for a newly diagnosed type 1? I'm starting to get a collection of bed time reading and wondered what key texts you would all recommend.

'Think Like A Pancreas' by Gary Scheiner is top of my list.

Yes I would recommend Bernstein's book & Jenny Ruhl's too. Oh and also Eat Fat by Trudi Deakin from the Xpert website.

Definitely recommend Dr Bernstein. He's the foundation of my (mainly successful) regime.

Also recommend either of Jenny Ruhl's books, or, best of all on the science, Phinney and Volek.

Not read the Bernstein book but Think Like a Pancreas is an excellent book, for pump users I'd recommend Pumping Insulin.

A good all round book for carb counting is the Calorie Carb & Fat Bible.

For me an app is better because I don't want to carry a book around. This one is invaluable.
