New Glucose Revoluation, Shopper's Guide to GI Values 2009

This is a great book, helping me understand and comply with the new lifestyle/dietary requirements of my recently-diagnosed Type II Diabetes. My doctor didn't know about this book, and I have sent her the info to find it online. Her husband is a recently-diagnosed Type II Diabetes patient. Very helpful book.

Indispensable!

This book and the main book (The New Glucose Revolution: The Authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index) are essentials for anyone living with and striving to manage diabetes.

Excellent resource for watching glycemic index

Again (as usual) the group of experts that put this together every year have done a superb job. Their comprehensive list of both name brand and generic items that are easily found and clearly explained make this book an excellent resource for shopping and dining while at the same time being small enough to carry in your pocket or purse. All in all - another excellent help for following a heart and diabetic healthy diet!
