'The Pocket Guide To The G.I. Factor For People With Diabetes' gives you the true story about carbohydrate and the blood sugar connection. For people with diabetes this can mean a new lease on life - literally!
Health authorities all over the world stress the importance of high carbohydrate diets for good health and diabetes management. The question is, which type of carbohydrate is best for people with diabetes? In this hand pocket guide, the authors of the excellent G.I. Factor reveal that:
- Many traditionally "taboo" foods don't cause the unfavourable effect on blood sugar they were believed to have.
- Diets with a low G.I. improve blood sugar control in people with insulin-dependent and non-insulin dependent diabetes.
- Many more foods make up a healthy diet for someone with diabetes than was once believed.
With G.I., fat and carbohydrate content tables of over 300 foods, the pocket guide can be used when shopping, dining out or planning the week's meals.
