Carb counting has always been the weakest link in my attempt at BG control. Now that I’m pumping, it becomes the weakest link by far. I know, I know, I received a Calorie King book compliments of Medtronics, but it is such a hassle to find foods unless I know what’s cooking hours ahead. So, I’ve found their website. by going to http://www.calorieking.com/foods I can enter the food I’m looking for and there it is. No hassel. If accurate carb counting is important to you, try this. Did I say it’s free?

And yes, carb counting is so hard for me too but would be a lot harder if not for this resource.
Me too! One thing about the site is that is probably a WHOLE LOT BIGGER and easier on the eyes!!
