Tralal, Wow! I cant imagine how your mother managed…but by now your doctor should have taught that to you. Don’t you think? When I was diagnosed my doctor gave me a great book about carb counting which really helped me alot in the beginning. Eventually I learned the foods that i eat often by heart and I havent used the book in probably over a year (I was only diagnosed 2 yrs ago at 18 yrs old). The book is called The calorie king “Calorie Fat and carbohydrate counter” by allan borushek, the calorie king. Buy it its a great book for someone who is just beginning to carb count. Also, I bought a food scale which has foods preinserted into it (basics like bread, fruits ,vegies, pastries, pizza) You weigh the food and type in a code and it’ll tell you how many carbs are in that specific portion. Eventually you’ll learn to figure it out on your on just by looking!! I bought the Soehnli scale its wonderful! expensive but worth it!!
