The New Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Diabetes

by Jennie Brand-Miller, Kaye Foster-Powell, Johanna Burani

From the best-selling authors of The Glucose Revolution comes The New Glucose Revolution Pocket Guide to Diabetes, a newly revised and expanded edition of the guide that’s helped thousands of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics make informed choices about their diet. Using the glycemic index—an easy-to-understand ranking of foods based on their immediate effect on blood glucose levels—the authors show readers how to choose the right foods for better blood glucose control. Topics covered include why many so-called "taboo" foods don't really cause unfavorable effects, why diets based on low glycemic index foods improve blood sugar control, how to prepare complete low glycemic index meals, and much more.
