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

...thank you for this valuable information.
May he rest in peace.
My daughter is a Type 1 diabetic and I appreciate his work. Thanks for passing this on.
Lo lamento mucho. Te mando un beso.
We or I owe this man a lot of gratitude.
Thanks for this informative article. I have never heard of him.
I 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!
That is a very long and meaningful working life. RIP indeed.
Sad he passed on, but he did a marvelous job keeping himself well.
The 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.
R.I.P.
God bless.
What an inspirational and determined man.
I am sure he helped many people who suffered with Diabetes.
May he RIP. Take care, wishing you a good day!

A lovely tribute to Dr. Bernstein, Jan. He's been used to help many, many people, I am sure.
RIP to him.
He sounds like a remarkable and inspirational man whose work really made a difference.
May he rest in peace.
Rest 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. I thought of you the other day when I air fried parsnip fries/chips. Then I roasted them and hid them in veggie mix to see what Tim thought, and he liked them too!
Thank you for your continue work here on the blog.
God bless. May he rest in peace 🙏
It sad when a good and helpful person passes. I hope his book is still available for people to use.
A very clever man. RIP.
It is a good testament that you can have a good long life with diabetes if you eat well and get good exercise!
Happy Easter!
