A real breakthrough in diabetes control
I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for over twelve years. I had more or less given up on ever having proper control of my blood-sugars and was resigned to putting on weight, having regular hypos/hypers and the probability that before long I would start suffering from the long-term effects of diabetes. Not any more. Since reading Dr Bernstein's book my life has changed dramatically. OK it is a bit tough having to give up on bread, cereals, potatoes etcetera but it isn't that difficult. (After all, diabetic already don't eat things like sweets and cakes, right?)
I have now been on his diet for about a month and have been going to the gym three times a week. Already I feel so much better. My blood-sugars are now mostly normal, I am losing weight and I feel much more alert. What more could you ask?
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you are a diabetic yourself you need this information. If you know one, then give it to them as a birthday present. It will be the best gift you could ever think of.

THIS BOOK NORMALISES BLOOD SUGAR
I just wanted to say that I agree with the other reviewers for this book. This book is the only one that did it for me. It kept my blood sugars normal. Fruit was messing me up and the Richard K. Bernstein reccomendeds the only friut we can eat is avarcado. The diet is strict but least I am empowered and in control over my life. I do not need to worry what bad things are going to happen to me if I keep on having high blood glucose levels. I am can keep my eyes and legs after all on this type of diet and therer is much hope for me and over time the habit changes to a healthier one, as I simply forget about junk and poisonous foods. Just think... if this diet/book is going to make you healthy, thin and beautiful well this is the book for you. If your in dought, try the diet out and see for yourself. Life should be a joy!!!

Incredible
I am recently diagnosed as a Type 1 in the last year, but my brother has been diabetic for 30 years. Since being diagnosed at the age of 37, I have read so much and tried to make sense of the best how to bring my blood sugar back to normal. I believe that Dr Bernstein might just offer a genuine solution to swings in blood sugar. If you restrict (severely) the intake of foods that cause rapid swings in sugar, you make it easier to keep a balance. As someone with little long term experience of diabetes, I guess its easy for me to say this, but I have aleady noticed a significant difference. I am also someone who tests blood sugar every few hours and restricting my carb intake as is suggested in the book works. Every time I vary from this, for instance by having bread, it goes wrong. I am now a convert and intend to stick to this.

This is not for the faint-hearted. You will need to change your diet completely and stop eating many of your favourite foods, but the upside is surely worth it.

I am just about to buy the book on-line for my brother. I don't think this book is a fad, like many similar diet books; to me this makes complete sense and from what I can tell, it works.
