Product Description
A revolutionary new low-carb diet for diabetics by the doctor who pioneered a successful new approach to the disease–with 100 original mouth watering recipes. For diabetics, diet is more than a lifestyle choice–it*s the key to controlling the course of their disease. Many diabetics struggle their entire lives to maintain a healthy weight, but the guidelines given to them by the American Diabetes Association have proven unhelpful in regulating blood sugar–the critical component in keeping diabetes in check. In THE DIABETES DIET, Dr. Bernstein serves up the groundbreaking low-carbohydrate approach to diabetes care that has enabled his patients to take control of their disease by regulating their blood sugar without the usual swings. Dr. Bernstein himself is living proof of the success of this method, and he has the science to back it up. Plunging into the current debate on low-fat vs. low-carb diets, he shows that, especially for diabetics, low-carb is what will change lives–and he offers 100 delicious all-new recipes to help keep diabetics on track for life. The recipes and advice in THE DIABETES DIET will provide readers with an easy-to-follow guide for controlling their disease and regaining their health and well-being. * There are an estimated 18 million diabetics in America, and their number is increasing every year–yet there are no low-carb diet books appropriate for diabetics. * Since publication in 1997, Dr. Bernstein*s Diabetes Solution and its revised 2003 edition have sold more than 120,000 copies. * An engineer by training, Bernstein pioneered blood glucose self-monitoring and the tight control of blood sugar that is now accepted as the standard treatment of diabetes. He entered medical school at the age of 45 in order to publish his findings.

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.
