[QUOTE="Doriscrisp, post: 2106233, member: 200967"] I discovered him over a year ago. I watched his video's until the early hours of the morning and I remember telling my T1 daughter (who is in her 20's and had become very ill through following the NHS diet of eat anything you want and just inject for it) that I felt that we had to try something totally new and I persuaded her to go low carb. It made perfect sense to me that the law of numbers was playing a part in the roller coaster blood sugars. If you eat lots of carbs (bread, some fruit, fruit juice, pastry, rice chips, etc). it means you need to put more insulin into your body and the more you put in the more you have onboard and then the likelihood of rollercoaster numbers and chasing corrections and highs and then hyps can occur. Also, insulin resistance is more likely. I figured she had gastroparesis after reading his book and got her tested and she was. He is very extreme low carb and we couldn't totally keep to that but are low carb. As a consequence of this diet, she has become an amazing cook, I highly recommend Viki DeBeer's low carb cookbook, which taught us how to do it and she is basically Bernstein but so much easier to read and understand and with lovely photos. You can reverse T2 with this diet but not T1 obviously but it helps to be educated about how you can get energy from protein (something the clinic doesn't go into) I wish I had known about it when she was diagnosed at 7 years old and probably she would have fewer problems now.
