The Internet offers chock-full of information on diabetes, but navigating through the avalanche of websites is no easy task. Particularly, discerning reliable from sketchy advice can be a headache for people with little knowledge in the field.

For this reason, I’ve decided to compile a list of 4 valuable resource guides targeted specifically for people living with diabetes.

Check them out!

#1. Your Pocket Guide to Dining Out

Don’t let diabetes stop you from going to the restaurants!

This pocket guide is created by the team from Diabète Québec and provides the average amount of carbs, fat, and calories of popular food items such as breakfast sandwich egg, chicken wings, and chicken chow mien. A useful reference to keep close when you’re heading out to eat!

#2. Diabetes Forecast – The Healthy Living Magazine

If you want to stay on top of diabetes news, this is an affordable and worthy magazine to subscribe. In every issue, you’ll find finger-licking recipes for you and your whole family to savor, useful tricks and tips to manage diabetes, and the most up-to-day breakthroughs in the world of diabetes. The best part of this bundle of issues is the price. For one issue, it only costs $1!* But if you’re frugal like me (hey, $1 is still money!), you can always grab the content of the magazine directly on their website! Lastly, you can be sure that you are getting reliable information since this magazine is created by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

*Valid for a 2-year subscription, 12 issues.

#3. Meal Planning for people with diabetes

Clinical dietitians who work closely with diabetics have probably memorized the whole pamphlet. To calculate the average daily intake of carb of their patients’ diet, they use this resource as guidance, and so can you. Don’t worry: this educational tool was designed for patients with diabetes; hence, it’s consumer-friendly, and you won’t find any hard-to-crack scientific terms.

#4. Standard of Medical Care in Diabetes—2017 Abridged for Primary Care Providers

Last year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) released brand new guidelines for the management of diabetes. If you’ve always wondered what health professionals based their intervention on, here is your answer. Consider these clinical guidelines as the dictionary of diabetes. But be warned: the read can be a bit heavy as it is designed for healthcare professionals, not patients.
