Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ian DP" data-source="post: 584491" data-attributes="member: 91575">I am contemplating following Dr Bernstein's  diabetic solution, and wondering if there are any other following it.I am already on a LcHf, but what really draws me to his diet plan is the necessity to get fasting BG levels and HbA1c down to around 4.8, in order to eliminate diabetic complications and to keep my few raining insulin beta cells I have for as long as possible (research has demonstrated that beta cell burnout can be slowed or halted by normalizing blood sugars.)Hardest thing will be the elimination of all fruit. I have about 12g fruit carbs per day, but to get down to 4.8 levels they will have to go.... On a positive side, Dr Bernstein says he has not eaten fruit for 40 years, he is now 80, with no complications. Diagnosed T2 in sept 2013, BS levels 20+. BMI 22, age 58. Requested a GAD test in November, came back very high 2,000+, doc said I would be T1 within weeks, but presently still LADA taking no insulin or medication, and striving to keep my BS readings one hour after meals under 7.8 in order to keep as many insulin making pancreas beta cells as possible for as long as I can.Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
