Easier carb calculations thanks to CalorieKing and Joslin

I read about this in the latest CWD newsletter, and it seems like a great tool to use if you're doing carb or calorie counting.

CalorieKing and the Joslin clinic have combined to create a Web Browser toolbar. This allows you to search for food information (carbs, fat, calories) quickly from your browser. And it works for both Internet Explorer and Firefox!

Here's what the installed toolbar looks like.

And here's an example of the results that it returns.

The Diabetes Technology Blog is focused on using technology to life better with diabetes. I review: blood glucose monitors; continuous glucose monitor; blood sugar meters; diabetes software and living with diabetes.

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US.
I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 36 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes.
I wear a Cozmo 1800 insulin pump and a Dexcom SEVEN CGM to track my blood glucose levels.
I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
