1 Star Not a good choice for the Kindle…
Unfortunately, this book doesn’t have an active table of contents for the Kindle edition, so it’s next to useless for that purpose. My husband was recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and among the four books on diabetes and carbs etc. I’ve downloaded for our Kindles, this is the only one that wasn’t easily searchable. I’ve already received my refund from Amazon. Too bad.
1 Star Disapointed
I bought this book with the thought it would be easy to follow. I guess I was just looking for food carb counts, but this book had too much stuff I didn’t need to know. Should of sent it back.
5 Stars Excellent! Thorough and Informative
As a new diabetic, this book was a lifesaver. It even has carb counts for a variety of chain restaurants.
5 Stars Diabetes textbook
Excellent book to help control a serious health problem: Diabetes
GOOD SERVICE ON THE PART OF THE SHIPPER!
4 Stars Guide to Carbs
I wanted a book for counting carbs in my diet. This book did much more than that. I was pleasantly susrprised to learn that carbs were not as bad and that I was being led to believe would cause a weight loss if I stayed off them. They are good for you in many ways that I hadn’t known about. It was a much better read than I had planned on and healthier eating ideas.
