Carbs & Cals Pocket Counter Reviews

"Great item and does exactly what it says on the tin...or even the front cover! "Very informative book that I would recommend to anyone." "Exactly what was needed for information on fats and an ideal size for carrying in bag if necessary." "This book really helps with my carb counting and keeping my diabetes under control." "My daughter was diagnosed in February with type 1 diabetes. I heard that this was the "must have" book for reference. It has a great layout and is easy to refer to for her (13) and us!" "Has helped already to control my diabetes." "I love this book as it has pictures of the portion size you probably SHOULD have and then a picture of the portion size you probably ACTUALLY have! It really made me think about the size of my portions yesterday and how that is a big part of why I have put on weight!!" "A great help when planning your daily diet."

About Chris Cheyette

"I don't know how I managed before I got this book." "This book is fab, I take it everywhere with me." "So convenient to carry in my bag and very easy to identify the food I am about to eat and how many carbs it has." "Having had use of the full size book at home, I really needed a pocket size book to take on holiday and this certainly lived up to expectations." "Well worth it. I have been on a DAFNE Course and these books supplement the help already received." "This is a handy wee book for my son's diabetes bag. Useful for carb counting when out and about."
