    This is a book that has changed our lives! We have a 9 year old Type 1 Diabetic son, who requires 4 insulin injections each day. To calculate his insulin we "carbohydrate count", that is, calculate how much carbohydrate is in his meal and adjust his insulin dose accordingly. This book has made this so much easier. No longer are we guessing or scrutinising labels. Its photos and clutter free format accurately tell us all the information required. Providing nutritional information from cornflake cakes to lentil curry, it has a wide food and drinks content. Highly recommended.
