I've just found this online, I have a paper copy of it and find it far more useful than the Collins book.
Its not that exact but good enough for bolus dosing with a pump. For those who can't read the French it also has some pictures to show the carbs in portions of fruit, chips, potatoes, pizza baguette and typical patisseries. http://www.medtronic-diabete.fr/tl_files/FR/PDF/brochure glucides.pdf
Another useful phrase is, "Avez-vous des repas pour diabetiques ?" It's amazing what food you get offered when used in a French restaurant....... :lol:
