Bernstein used self-experimentation to develop a regimen of glucose monitoring, diet and multiple daily insulin shots, he radically improved his own health. He enrolled in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and graduated at the age of 48. He subsequently practiced medicine as a Diabetologist in Mamaroneck, NY until his death.
He credited his longevity and good health to tight control of his blood sugars, exercise and his low carb diet and insisted that all diabetics have the right to normal blood sugars."
When my beloved Eddie was first diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes he bought Dr Bernstein’s book "Diabetes Solution: A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars" it was so incredibly helpful and in many ways became Eddie's Diabetes Bible.
I would like to thank Dr Katharine Morrison, at Diabetes Diet Blog, for her post regarding Dr Bernstein's passing which can be seen here
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteMay he rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a Type 1 diabetic and I appreciate his work. Thanks for passing this on.
ReplyDeleteLo lamento mucho. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteWe or I owe this man a lot of gratitude.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this informative article. I have never heard of him.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how it can catch children. My Niece got diagnosed at age 8 ... or was it 6 .... with diabetes type 1. What a hassle. There thankfully were tools to check blood sugar but she could not read yet. She turns 15 now and is doing very well, also thanks to such men/people invent such helpful tools. Discipline is the key. She´s a teenager now, let´s see!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very long and meaningful working life. RIP indeed.
ReplyDeleteSad he passed on, but he did a marvelous job keeping himself well.
ReplyDeleteThe book must have been a good one for you Eddy to have used it as if it were his bible on the subject.
Take care Jan.

ReplyDeleteRest in piece to him and also your beloved Eddie. I think of you often, Jan. When I'm away from Blogger and even at the grocery store.
