Reviews

"The Pocket Carbohydrate Counter Guide for Diabetes combines science and real-life examples to provide informed eating decisions. It also recognizes the need for support in the diabetes journey, offering resources for where to find it. Highly recommend!"--Anna Norton, MS, CEO, DiabetesSisters (person with Type 1 Diabetes since 1993)

"This a good book for anyone who is newly diagnosed with diabetes or has had diabetes for a long time. Shelby provides some great resources for carb counting and quick tricks when an app or book is not available. A great little guide!"--Dr. Andrea Gundlach, PharmD, MPH (person with Type 1 diabetes since 2015)

"This isn't your average carb-counting book where you look up the carb count of certain foods. In this book, Shelby gives you strategies to navigate the world of constant carb-counting that we have to do as people living with diabetes. This book was written by a person living with diabetes for more than 18 years and it feels that way. From the very beginning, you'll know that the author is right there with you."--Dr. Phyllisa Deroze, Founder of Diagnosed Not Defeated and Black Diabetic Info

"What a valuable tool for the diabetic patient! I've been teaching diabetes management to my pharmacy patients for several years and this is perfect! Whether you are a new patient living with diabetes or you've been living with diabetes for years, this is quite a handy guide. Highly recommend!"--Dr. Michelle Harmon, PharmD
