 - Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution has given me back my lifeI was diagnosed with prediabetes in the fall of 2007, after having suffered from severe and debilitating chronic fatique and nerve pain for almost a year. When I started checking my blood sugars, I was shocked to see how high they were and immediately started looking for a diet that could help me bring those numbers down. My doctor had recommended a low carb diet, so I looked here at Amazon and found Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. I started his diet in October of 2007. My blood sugars immediately came down, and my cholesterol and triglycerides have normalized -- total cholesterol has dropped from 241 to 172, LDL dropped from 161 to 94, HDL rose from 51 to 61, triglycerides dropped from 143 to 85. The nerve pain in my arm is now clearing up, I believe I had diabetic neuropathy and did not even know it before. Dr. Bernstein's diet is not hard to follow, once you reduce your carb intake your carb cravings will diminish and you really don't miss the carbs. And your energy levels will skyrocket so you will have the ability to exercise again! Diabetes management that seemed impossible before will suddenly become possible again! I'm so happy I found Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution -- he has literally given me back my life!! Rating: - Diabetes SolutionExtremely informative and very focused. It will take extreme effort on most to follow the prescription, but, the results are hard to deny. Rating:  - helpful, but try these suggestions, too:I highly recommend the 30-Day Diabetes Miracle series for managing your diabetes and creating a whole new healthy lifestyle! The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle: Lifestyle Center of America's Complete Program to Stop Diabetes, Restore Health,and Build Natural Vitality The 30-Day Diabetes Miracle Cookbook: Stop Diabetes with an Easy-to-Follow Plant-Based, Carb-Counting Diet Rating: - This book is life-saving!There is a saying that the diabetes community knows only too well - your milage may vary (YMMV). This is certainly true when following any plan or program to manage your diagnosis. You must understand and experiment how your body will react based on your existing beta cells, pancreatic and liver function, other conflicting and supporting hormones etc. This book is completely open about these issues and about how to acheive basic control of your diabetes. Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 (hybrid types too) all types for that matter can use all of Dr. B's work. True it is a challenge to change your eating, exercise and social behaviors but it can be done. My heart goes out to vegetarians who have a harder time with more narrow options, but it can be done. This is not a program for rich people or poor people but sick people who will greatly benefit. If you can't afford the book go to Dr. B's website and there are large sections of the book available and the forum that his site links to and support is full of compassionate and helpful advice as well. Live longer! Rating: - This is THE book on DiabetesThis book explained every question I've had about how to manage Diabetes. There is information you will never get from your own Dr. and certainly not from a nutritionist. He tells you what meds to take and what not to take and why. He tells you what to eat and not to eat, artificial sugars to use and not to use. He tells you how to save your own life. In association with Amazon.com | |
