Nutrition

	The Complete Book of Food Counts by Corinne T. Netzer Dell Pub Co, Jan 1, 2003, ISBN:0440225647 Order from Amazon.com This book can't fit in your pocket, but is very thorough. Great for an "at home" reference book.
	The Carbohydrate Addicts Gram Counter by Rachael F. Heller Signet, June 1993, ISBN:0451177177 Order from Amazon.com This is a great pocket sized book that you can carry around with you anywhere. Most of the items that I have been wondering about have been in here.
	The New Glucose Revolution: The Authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index -- The Dietary Solution for Lifelong Health by Jennie Brand-Miller Marlow & Co, Dec 10, 2002, ISBN:1569245061 Order from Amazon.com This the updated version of the first US glycemic index book -- The Glucose Revolution : The Authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index by Thomas Wolever A very good book on how sugar and carbohydrates effect the body, as well as recipes and cooking tips. If you are interested in the glycemic index, check out Rick Mendosa's Glycemic Index page. Also, check out this article on glycemic load.
	The American Diabetes Association Guide to Healthy Restaurant Eating, 2nd Edition by Hope Warshaw Amer Diabetes Assn, April, 2002, ISBN:158040152X Order from Amazon.com This book has lists of carbohydrate counts (as well as other nutrition information) from popular fast food restaurants. I've found it to be very helpful. For similar information, check out my restaurant page. If you want the first edition: Order from Amazon.com
Insulin Pumps
	Pumping Insulin : Everything You Need for Success With an Insulin Pump by John Walsh Torrey Pines Pr, June, 2000, ISBN:1884804845 Order from Amazon.com Make sure if you buy this book that it is the third edition. If you are on an insulin pump, this book is invaluable. Not only is the book useful when you first start pumping, you will find yourself leafing through the book even when you are an old pro. Even if you are not on the pump, the chapters on how insulin affects the body is very informative. Highly recommended.
	Putting your Diabetes on the Pump by Fran Kaufman American diabetes Association Jan 1, 2002, ISBN:1580401414 Order from Amazon.com If you are going to only buy one book on pumping, buy "Pumping Insulin", not this book. This book is very small (60 pages, and 5 1/2"x4") and doesn't fully explain all the concepts it goes into. (For example, it mentions the 1800/1500 rule, but doesn't explain when you would use either number.) It does have some good suggestions on where to wear the pump, and similar issues. My suggestion, if you can get this book for very cheap ($4 or less), pick it up. But, it is not worth the $7.95 price tag that it currently has.
	Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified by Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer Marlowe & Company, Dec 10, 2002, ISBN 1569245088 Order from Amazon.com The author has a website for the book here.
	Smart Pumping : A Practical Approach to the Insulin Pump by Howard Wolpert American Diabetes Association, Nov 5, 2002, ISBN 1580401252 Order from Amazon.com This book was written by a Senior Physician at the Joslin Diabetes Center, where he is in charge of the insulin pump clinic.
Diabetes and Pregnancy
	Medical Management of Pregnancy Complicated by Diabetes by Lois Jovanovic American Diabetes Association, June 4, 2003, ISBN: 1580400132 Order from Amazon.com A great book for any diabetic woman who is thinking about, or is pregnant. This covers just about everything you would want to know about the issues (and maybe some issues you don't want to know). The language does get pretty complicated at times, so you may need to consult someone with medical training to understand everything in this book.
	Diabetes & Pregnancy: What to Expect by the ADA ADA, Feb 28, 2001, ISBN: 158040071X Order from Amazon.com This is a good book for the basics.
