What he advocates is a ketogenic diet. One of the main issues with a ketogenic diet is compliance. People generally speaking find them hard to stick to - drop out rates in studies can be as high as 1/3 after one year. Studies looking at ketogenic diets in epilepsy found that almost nobody stayed on one in long term follow up.Also insulin requirements bottom out between 80g-120g per day - that is a ketogenic diet needs as much insulin as does a diet containing 80g of carbs, and an 80g diet is better tolerated than a ketogenic one. The Bernstein approach is rather evidence lite. There is little evidence to support ketogenic diets in type 2 over any other kind of diet, and I don't think there is any research on ketogenic diets in type 1. Also is it just me, but doesn't the style of the Bernstein website scream quackology?</blockquote>
