and I have an extra copy of Good Calories, Bad Calories to give to her primary physician.

Ha! Read Gary Taubes intro to the shorter version, Why We Get Fat. The reason he wrote WWGF is that doctors (and the average person) don’t have the time or interest to wade through the science of GCBC. Many asked him to write an "airplane trip" length version. And add Diet guidelines...so Dr Westman's clinic Diet ended up in the back of the shorter WWGF. But GCBC is the one that started me on the LC path, good book, ..Worth a shot.

I have bought many of the books listed in this thread at thrift shops and library book sales, over the years. Most of those for $1 or $2. __________________
Aunt Em Me too, I often read a book first from the library but then am able in a few years to find the print copy... and sometimes the Used Amazon prices are worth it if it is a book later decide really want to own. People shed themselves of Diet, Health and Cookbooks sooner than others


To discuss with a Diabetes Doctor, also consider sharing the new Virta paper, published in February in a peer reviewed journal:

And this one by a large group of doctors. Dietary carbohydrate restriction as the first approach in diabetes management: Critical review and evidence base

In addition to one of the the Duke Clinics using keto for diabetes, the Cleveland Clinic offers it as an option as well. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/...-with-diabetes/

And Rob's good suggestion of Diabetes Unpacked...that is written in short chapters by different doctors and nutrition researchers around the world. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=478136
