An Island of truth in a sea of deception
I weighed 268, a diagnosed Type II when I first got this book. My doctor wanted to put me on medication. I asked him If I could try diet and exercise first. He reluctantly gave me 6 months. I never looked back. If I had followed my Dr. and the American Diabetes Association, I would still be taxing my pancreas to the max and shooting insulin to compensate for poisoning myself. But fate stepped in and I read this book. I learned how not to eat things that kill me and to avoid any medication whatsoever. (Note, some diabetics may be too far gone to accomplish this, as Dr. Bernstein notes in his book, but for the vast majority, newly diagnosed type IIs can learn to stop poisoning themselves and avoid medication. Even if you have to take medication or insulin, this book will help you to lower the dosages if not get off of them altogether).I lost 61 pounds in one year, went from a size 48 waist to a 38 and feel like a million bucks. I have never had to take medication. When I went back in 6 months, my A1C was out of the diabetic range altogether. That was a true miracle. All I did was follow the advice in this book. Dr. Bernstein tells the truth that many of us don’t want to hear: There are some things we must never eat again. Many of us never hear the second part: But there are many new things you can eat, and you’ll love them! Plus you will feel like a 20 year old again! The ADA would have you believe you can keep on chugging down carbs that bleed your pancreas dry…just take medication or insulin if you want that huge pizza or piece of cake. Dr. Bernstein takes the adult approach. There is so much more now that I eat, that I never used to. A whole new smorgasbord has opened up for me. I love it!The best thing about this book is that the author is not tied to any food industry or medical industry people, you get the straight dope here. He has no reason to lie and is a living example of his own advice. The man is a pioneer and we are sooooo fortunate he is still with us. Did you know he was an engineer way back in the ’60s when he began to discover the truth about diabetes and the Govt. food Pyramid? Did you know that this engineer gave up his career, went back to school, and became a medical doctor just so the profession would take his findings seriously? He is still treating patients today.I should note that if I had listened to my doctor and got on medication the day I was diagnosed. I would never have qualified to be a private pilot. That dream would have been gone forever. Instead, I was able to avoid any medication, thanks to Dr. Bernstein. I hope the same works out for you. If you’re tired of feeling lousy and resigned yourself to the curse of diabetes, you owe it to yourself to listen to Dr. Bernstein. I and hundreds of thousands of people like me are living proof that it doesn’t have to be the way the ADA makes it out to be. One warning, if you aren’t ready to treat yourself as an adult, don’t bother spending money on this book. The good Dr. will not waste time telling what you want to hear. Instead he tells, and shows, you what you NEED to know. The choice is yours.

Review of Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution
Dr. Richard K. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution is a groundbreaking and comprehensive guide for managing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. As a doctor and a long-time type 1 diabetic himself, Bernstein brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to diabetes care. His low-carbohydrate approach to blood sugar control challenges conventional medical advice but is backed by decades of research and personal experience.The book provides detailed guidelines on diet, medication, exercise, and blood sugar monitoring, making it an invaluable resource for diabetics who want to achieve near-normal blood sugar levels. Bernstein’s writing is thorough yet accessible, offering both scientific explanations and practical advice. While his methods require discipline, many readers have reported life-changing improvements in their health.If you are looking for a well-researched, no-nonsense approach to diabetes management, Diabetes Solution is a must-read.

Excellent for Type 1 teen and everyone!
**Update, May 2013: 1+ year anniversary for my T1D son. Since his diagnosis he has grown 5 inches! At his healthiest ever. Last 2 A1C’s have been 5.3, still great! NO background insulin needed anymore, it was making him too low. He can even go several days without meal insulin all because we read and followed Dr. Bernstein’s book. THANK YOU! He breezed through a scarey case of the stomach flu. Doctor’s can’t believe he went through puberty and actually had blood sugars improve. Would like to add we have almost eliminated gluten from his diet also- not on purpose but due to their high carbs. I’ll update any changes! His cholesterol numbers are excellent and we now eat low carb, high fat and protein, and limit grains!January, 2012: My 14 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in March of 2012. After the shock faded I immediately started to read about it and read Dr. Bernstein’s older book from the library. I liked it and ordered this one and read it again. It blew me away. It goes against everything we have been told about eating healthy.FIRST, it has immensely helped my son- to the point that his blood sugar levels are so incredibly well controlled and low that the doctor’s did tests to see if he was no longer diabetic. He is still diabetic, but stunning the doctors. His last A1C was 4.7 and his cholesterol levels in the excellent range. Thanks to this book! I read many but this one really helps. When we left the hospital in March the doctors told my son to eat whatever he wanted for carbs- but I questioned this. If he has a carb problem, shouldn’t he restrict them? And that is what this books says too. It is VERY HARD to completely change your eating habits- but the work, the frustration at the store, the researching recipes is worth it to me so that my son can have the best health, and he does. He is currently on only 3 units of Lantus a day and only needs to dose for meals over 25 carbs- and many are not so no needle! We splurge once in awhile, like mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving, but these are now special foods.SECOND, our family started eating like my son. Low carb (free range, grass fed meat and non-starchy vegetables) and less processed foods. I lost those 15 pounds I’ve been struggling with and my husband lost 25. And we weren’t even trying this time (and believe me, we’ve tried many different diets) we were just supporting our son. I used to be so tired by 5 or 6 p.m. Now my energy levels are great!It is hard- for all ages. I struggled at first, especially since I believed the low fat-low calorie-high fiber hype. I tried that diet for years, never lost weight and always felt tired. I read someone write that it wasn’t for children with Type 1 diabetes. I disagree. It is especially important for children- teaches them early to eat well and sets them on the path to a healthy life.And here is my advice. While diabetes is serious- laugh. We find something to laugh about before injections. And read this book.

Cette source alternative est une solution élégante au pb de la phase de 1 diminuée ou absente de l’insuline chez les diabétiques qui n’arrivent pas à faire face à une arrivée importante de glucose d’où l’hyperglycémieCe n’est donc pas un régime cétogène où la cétose est recherchée.Le seul unique but est la normoglycémie avec comme objectif le non développement de complications voire régression dans certains cascomme il l’a expérimenté.Il prône ce qu’il recommende avec un hba1C de 4.5% et ses adeptes même T1 ont une hémoglobine glyquée infériieur à 6% en moyenne.Son auteur, de formation ingénieur, a eu le diabète T1 à 12 ans en 1948 et explique comment il a corrigé par lui-même presque toutes ses complications vers la trentaire (protéinurie, épaule gelée..).Il a formulé sa méthode sur base d’autoexpérimentation et est l’auteur de la méthode basal/bolus dans la littérature scientifique alors qu’il n’était qu’étudiant en médecine et est probbalement le premier diabétique au monde adepte de l’autosurveillance glycémique, à une époque où la norme était une prise de sang par mois chez son médecin.Il tenta de publier ses recommendations (SGBM & régime hyperprotéiné) auprès de l’ADA par ex.mais n’étant pas du monde médical à l’époque il fut sujet aux railleries.Il décida d’intégrer la fac de médecine vers 40 ans pour être publié et exerce toujours en 2016 à 82 ans en tant que diabétologue.

Questo libro dovrebbero farlo leggere ai diabetici per legge. È impensabile che un diabetico non legga per filo e per segno quanto questo medico scrive avendolo provato sulla sua pelle ogni giorno della sua vita. Nessun medico dovrebbe mettere mano su un diabetico senza averlo letto.È esclusivamente in inglese. Ma oggi non è un problema. Lo parliamo tutti.

日本語版の「糖尿病の解決」と本書を自炊し＝デジタルPDF化し、iPad miniに収納し、毎日持ち歩き、読んでいます。 バーンスタイン先生は、私の主治医です。 半年前、突然、日本中に５０００人〜７０００人しかいない劇症１型糖尿病を発症し、血糖値が１８４８ｍｇ／ｄｌを記録、ほとんど死んでいました。 が、よみがえりました。 以来、糖質制限の日々。 血糖値もしっかりコントロールしたいと試行錯誤しています。 そんな時に、バーンスタイン先生を知りました。 素晴らしい先生です。 そして日本語版を購入し、原書も購入、毎日読んでいます。 血糖値を正常人同様に、コントロールできるのです。 信じられますか？ ほんとうです。 本書から私はたくさん学びました。 そして実践しています。 そしてそれを１型糖尿病で、インスリンポンプ人のために情報公開し、役立てたいと思っています。 本書のいちばんおいしい部分は、翻訳ではすべて削除されています。 残念ですねぇ。
