[QUOTE="John aka Wallycorker, post: 128257, member: 24711"] I did re-read his book in January exactly twelve months after reading it the first time. It meant much more to me the second time because of what I had learnt in the meantime. In my opinion the book seems very much more applicable to a Type 1 who needs to improve control of their blood glucose levels than it does to a non-insulin dependent Type 2 such as myself. Despite saying that, I have learnt a great deal from Dr Bernstein's approach. Personally, I still do not apply all the things that Dr Bernstein advocates - e.g. I eat a lot of fruit and tomatoes. Because of that - and perhaps because I am a non-insulin dependent Type 2 - I am able to maintain a significantly higher carbohydrate intake than the very low levels that he recommends. However, I must say that of all the stuff I have read on diabetes the Dr Bernstein is the one who seems to understand what is happening best of all - perhaps because he has had diabetes himself for such a long time. Certainly, I think that his principle of what I seem to remember him calling 'the law of small numbers' is the way to deal with our situations - i.e. taking in small amounts of carbohydrate at any one time and then making small adjustments to cater for the changes in blood glucose levels that arise. In my opinion, the book is certainly worth reading by any person who has diabetes and - very importantly - who wants to try to improve their situation. [/QUOTE]
