If you count carbohydrate, don't buy this book... - By: Hilary Harrison, 22 Dec 2007 
Aha, I thought - a recipe book written by a diabetic nutritionist! What more could I want, it'll give me alll the information I need! I'll tell you what more I want - recipes which give the carbohydrate value of prepared food. As a Type 1 diabetic, my entire food intake relies on accurate counting of carbohydrate. That's why I bought this book, & it gives no help whatsoever with carbohydrate values. I can use any recipe book I choose & work out the carbohydrate content for myself; it's tedious & turns cooking into an exercise in arithmetic. Similar recipes could be found in any book advocating healthy eating, ie low fat, less sugar & salt, more fresh fruit & vegetables, & wholemeal bread & pasta. I also looked at Antony Worral Thompson's 'Healthy Eating for Diabetes' & opted for this book instead. I wish I'd gone for Worral Thompson; it carries a great deal more information about food values & glycaemic index, & the recipes give carbohydrate values. So, if you count carbohydrate, be careful which books you buy...
