Need a good diet book

Check with you local public library. If they have anything, then go for it= borrow it from them for the alloted loan period. If your local public library needs to borrow an item from another library, this is called interlibrary-loan, then request your local library do an interlibrary loan for you. Libraries, often prefer specific title(s) requests.

Also search: http://www.bibliocentre.ca/ (Ontario colleges campuses libraries), click on BIBCAT and do a keyword search: diabetes recipes cookbook. If you live near an Ontario Canada community college go to the campus library, you MAY be charged a small one-time yearly "external borrower" fee ; or again ask you local public library for a specific book and don't forget to mention where you found the information on the item.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.

Another great carb counting site is www.nutritiondata.com.
This site includes a full list of nutrition data, as we see it on product packages.
It also includes further information on vitamins, minerals and glycemic load in each food item.

You can find some at CDA's website at the following link:

The Beyond the Basics Resource is great because it includes a carbohydrate counting list, as well as glycemic index of most common foods. If you're into baking, Splenda has a really great cookbook. You can find it at any local bookstore.
