There's no need for me to write a book - it's already been written! My inspiration for all my years as a Type 2 diabetic keeping non-diabetic blood sugars has been Dr. Richard K. Bernstein and his book "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution." Dr. Bernstein has been a type 1 diabetic since the age of 12. He is now 84 and is still practicing medicine as an endocrinologist. He is a truly amazing man and his book tells us all we need to know about managing diabetes successfully with a low-carbohydrate diet. When I first read it, I thought "I can't possibly do that" but I decided to give it a try and here I am 17 years later with my A1Cs better than those of many non-diabetics. It was only difficult for the first ten days or so and then I lost my cravings for carbs. Most people think eating low-carb means depriving oneself of delicious foods, but it truly isn't. There are many wonderful sources of incredibly good low-carb recipes online, and I find I actually prefer some of them to the higher carb dishes recipes that I used to use - for example, yesterday I made a cheesecake using almond flour for the base instead of the usual graham cracker crust - it's much tastier! Please do yourself a favour and read Dr. Bernstein's book - it's available at many libraries and can be purchased through Amazon.
If you think I'm obsessed, you're probably right, but I am absolutely convinced that this book has given me the means to live a longer life with none of the usual long-term complications of being diabetic - Type 1 or Type 2.
