The Diabetes Diet: Dr. Bernstein’s Low-Carbohydrate Solution by Richard K. Bernstein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I first met the work of Dr. Bernstein in an article in Diabetes Self-Management Magazine, and as a result bought his book Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, which I have also reviewed. I consider his work something that changed my life. I was headed towards increased problems caused by my failure to get control over my blood sugar, and Dr. Bernstein showed me how to do it. Most doctors say “diet-and-exercise” as if they were one word, but in controlling Diabetes the most important thing is diet, and in this book Dr. Bernstein offers suggestions that he has found are consistent with blood sugars in the normal range, i.e., not diabetic. At this point I am in my seventh year of following this, and my blood sugars do not look like those of a diabetic (e.g. my a1c is always around 5.5). I would recommend reading Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution first, and then picking this up since the theory behind it will be clear.
