You are doing the right thing by educating yourself!

1. I need to find a good source/book for rating foods for carb. content.
|
Corrinne T. Netzer's Complete Book of Food Counts is the "bible" for carb counting. THere is an excellent carb counter on this site under low-carb tools at the top of the page, and for keeping track of what you are eating there is a website called fitday.com. It's free.

3. Does fruit count as a "high" carb food. For example, grapes, plums, or pears?
|
THe three you have given as an example would count as high. Low-carb fruits are berries and melons - but not watermelon.
An excellent book on controlling blood sugar through eating is Dr. Bernstein's Diabetic Solution, and as supplemental reading, Protein Power.
I can't answer your glucophage question, but low-carbing will give you tons of energy. It's a great way to eat and live!
