I was upset with the book. My mistake, but was unaware he has and is writing this book as a man with type 1 diabetes. I am just learning about the disease since being diagnosed, but am type 2 and there is a world of differnce between the both of them. It scared me and I put the book down and will not read any more of it. I got other books that are helping me adjust to this illness.

I bought this book before I learned how off-base Dr. Berstein is in the area of disbetes treatment. His suggestions are ultra low-carb and I believe dangerously low. If you are looking for a good reference on type-2 diabetes and how to treat I would NOT recommend this book. Try a publication from Joslin Diabetes Center.

this book was useless. I am not interested in what foods contain very little carbs. i already know that, and most likely you do too.
i was hoping this book would tell you how to better dose the amount of insulin you take while on a low carb diet. it doesn’t even mention anything close to that.
the main problem with most low carb diets for diabetics is dosing your insulin so you don’t go too low, because if you do go low, then have to have a lot of carbs to bring up your blood sugar level. as most diabetics who have tried a low carb diet know, eating low carb is not the problem, it’s not going too low on your blood sugars.
and he doesn’t mention any effective ways to bring up your blood sugars if you go low.
in addition to that, the first 70 pages of the book are spent trying to convince you of his beliefs in low carb diets. only about 10 pages are devoted to telling you what he believes is a low carb diet.

I have read several books re diabetes -”Diabetes Revolution” Atkins,”Diabetes w/Natural Medicine” Michael Murphy (includes blood test info),”Type 2 Diabetes”Becker(so-so)and Diabetes Diet-Bernstein(no) Bernstein’s “Diabetes Solution” is the best of all.
