This is the English edition of the Food Exchange Lists—Dietary Guidance for Persons with Diabetes, which has been widely used across Japan for many years and is considered the bible of diet therapy. In addition to exchange lists 1 through 6 and all the foods including seasonings, the book has descriptions of the how to use the lists and a basic explanation of diabetes. As internationalization advances, the number of foreigners living in Japan continues to increase every year. This book has been a long-awaited volume, as the number of foreigners with diabetes in Japan is forecast to increase in the future. The names of foods are given in both English and Japanese, making it convenient for Japanese people to look up foods when giving instruction and advice to foreigners. Just as with the Japanese edition, the book comes with a poster that has full-sized pictures of a single unit of foods.
