Scale helps Liz monitor her daughter’s diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes often develops in children, adolescents and young adults and is best controlled by diet, exercise, and insulin. Liz, from South Carolina says that the Perfect Portions scale has simplified her daughter’s life immensely.

She says, “We calculate her insulin dose, in part, by the carbohydrate grams in her meals. This has been incredibly challenging and we often find ourselves estimating or guessing when we are not sure.”

Since the Perfect Portions Scale has the Nutrition Facts label integrated in the design it has taken out the guesswork, she says. The scale is small, simple to use and the code book has just about every food she can think of.

Liz says the scale can help others who deal with diabetes or individuals who are monitoring their weight.

“I highly recommend it to any families who are managing this disease or who need to keep track of the calories, fat, carbs, or the nutritional values of the foods they eat.”
