My fault, I should have given the link to the whole chapter. In it Dr Bernstein tells the whole story of his life with diabetes. It is clear that because from his diagnosis of T1 at the age of 11 he was instructed to eat a high carb diet, his health was terribly damaged before he got hold of a bg meter and began learning to eat low carb. He only just survived. He is a living example of the fact that advanced diabetic complications can be reversed. There he is, still treating patients at age 83 and apparently as fit as a fiddle. If you doubt this, towards the end of each month he replies to questions in a phone-in, so you can check out his continuing vim and vigour (not to mention slight tetchiness) for yourself. So, do like DR B, eat low carb, and don't worry!I am now worried about calcified walls of arteries not reversed. Anyone know anything about this?
