Carbohydrate counting...?
Hi every1 i have been to my diabetic nurse today and she has given me new insulin, So as of tomorrow i will be taking 4 injections a day: To do this i have to count ALL the carbohydrate in my food to measure out how many units of insulin i take 
But i am looking for a book of something that has information on such as: i have a leaflet telling me how many carbs are in bread and cereal but i want to no about everyday food such as potatoes, pasta, yorkshire puddings and so on. Can anyone tell me where i can get a book or leaflets that don't need to be downloaded as no printer.
Thank you
books that are designed for low carb/GI/GL diets usually give carb amounts for a wide range of foods! i use the COLLINS GEM GI (ISBN 0-00-721139-2). its small and full of good info! but they're all quite similar just find the one that suits you!
it becomes second nature after a while. by far the best regieme i've been on. next stop...the pump!
good luck!
