[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 586844, member: 91575"] Having just read Dr Bernstein's 'diabetic solution' book (what an amazing man, a fascinating story) I have decided to try it. I am already LcHf, and not far off his dietary recommendations. However I do not see his 'solution' as a diet. I see His solution being all about keeping BG levels at the same levels as non diabetics, achieved through eating to you meter. He, I believe, would be quite happy if you were to eat something on the no-no list but achieve his BG levels. I have decided that I want 'normal' BG levels for 3 reasons 1). To retain my few remaining insulin making beta cells (high BG kills beta cells) 2). To stop frequent visits to the toilet (I find anything over 5.5 means frequent urination) 3). Minimise long term associated diabetes complications. My initial target I am setting myself is simply to keep my pre breakfast fasting below 5 and 2hr after eating below 6, not quite to Bernstein's solution (4.6 and 5.6). I saw my DSN yesterday, She actually agreed and understood my reasons for trying. If I can get to my target BG levels within 2 months I will try to get down to Bernstein's levels. Bernstein's solution is a lifetime commitment, but he himself says there will be blips, days that you do not make it... The commitment is to get back on track ASAP. For info, Dr Bernstein was diagnosed T1 nearly 70 years ago, purchased a BG m/c some 40 years ago, studied to be a Dr and opened his practice specialising in diabetes. He actually states that he owes his good health to his diabetes condition, which has forced him to eat foods that have kept his BG low (LcHf). Ps. Most veggies are not banned. He has not eaten fruit for 40 years. I like fruit !!!! 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. On a LcHf diet taking no insulin or medication, and striving to keep my BS readings as low as possible in order to keep as many insulin making pancreas beta cells as possible for as long as I can.
