Summary: ADA, please read this book!
Review: This book makes absolute sense. Yet it is a mystery to me why the ADA and most internists who treat diabetics won't admit that low-fat, high-carb diets only make us sicker. My dad was diagnosed with type II diabetes in the early 1970's and was put on a restricted carb, adequate protein diet. He immediately felt better and dropped 25-30 pounds in 6 months. Really, why did the AMA and ADA switch their positions on what actually works?

Summary: Diabetes Solution has saved my life!
Review: Dr. Bernstein's approach to diabetes control is the best I've ever seen. My current doctor over heard me talking at Sunday School before we met and thought I was a doctor. That's how much information is in this book. The problem is finding a doctor who will work with you. Dr. Bernstein, will you please clone yourself? We need you. Thank you for taking the time to make the information available to the public.

Summary: 5 stars doesn't say it all.
Review: If you have diabetes, are a doctor, or are another health care professional and haven't read this book you don't know about diabetes. There's nothing more to say, you just don't know diabetes no matter how much time you've spent in the halls of higher education. I was nearly killed more than once by several doctors and nurses who did not know diabetes but now I'm doing great.

Summary: "Best treatise on the disease around" Eades, MD
Review: Authors of Protein Power recommended the earlier version of this work (Diabetes Type II) as "the best treatise on this disease around. If you have diabetes, make the acquisition of this book a priority" (p284, Protein Power, Eades and Eades, MDs).

Summary: Makes more sense than anything I've read.
Review: Dr. Bernstein's approach to controlling blood sugar levels is absolutely right on the mark and is based on good common sense. All one has to do is recall Science Biology 101 to know Carbs are a NO and proteins are a DEFINITE to control blood sugar levels in the diabetic! Using Dr. Bernstein's approach, my blood sugar level stays in the range of 91 and 97 mg/dL. I feel great, and the Neuropathy in my feet has been reversed. This book is a MUST for all diabetics!

Summary: absolutely excellent
Review: I was diagnosed with IGT and I was terrified at the thought of developing diabetes. Then I started to reaserch and I find this book called Diabetes Solution. I couldn't put it down! Dr. Bernstein totally captivated me. I mean this man was not selling anything or trying to get you to buy any miracle cure in a bottle just sharing info that could very well save your life whether you are diabetic or not the diet itself is excellent! I wish I could e-mail Dr. Bernstein himself and thank him because he is truly a unique and gifted person. If anyone has his e-mail address i would greatly appreciate you forwarding it to me at JCYYZ@aol.com. JON

Summary: absolutely essential book for any home
Review: Dr. Bernstein's book was loaned to my husband by a co worker of whom both are diabetic. I am not but am one of 10 children and 6 were diabetic. His chapter on gastroparesis save my life I truly believe..I was being prepared for a liver biopsy which was absolutely not the problem once I discovered EVERY symptom I had was Gastroparesis.. I am about 17 lbs lighter (in 5 mos) and feel 15 years younger with energy to spare!!! I am 56 yrs old and everyone guesses my age at 40 and my weight 20 lbs lighter than the scale says!!! I praise the Lord for this book and recommended to my older sister who ordered her one and she is as pleased with hers as I am the borrowed one I have and I intend to buy myself one. THANK YOU again Dr. Bernstein from the bottom of my heart.. The diabetic drs. here know very little about the ailment of gastroparesis. My husbands family have all been "Shut mouth" when it came to health problems and since he is an only child he was in the dark about the rampant diabetes in his mother's family...He is 56 also and was a diabetic for years before he was diagnosed on the operating table with a sugar count of almost 400.. That is when the surgeon confronted him with the problem..He is not careful with his diet and is at least 175lbs overweight. His knees are killing him and he refuses to do a thing about his weight. I go to the YMCA for exercise 3-6times a week and he refuses to go even for water exercises. Thanks again Dr. Bernstein for saving my life. Linda Bogard

Summary: the right way to treat diabetes
Review: I am a pharmacist and diabetic educator and have been talking to patients about testing, low carbohydrate consumption and insulin use for years Dr Bernstein's book puts scientific evidence behin d what has always been common sense. His dietary and exercise guidelines should be followed by anyone who might have a chance of becoming diabetic. There are at least another 20 million people who are glucose intolerant and they could possibly avoid the onset of diabetes by following his program. If you are diabetic get this book and read it, If you are not then read so you can avoid diabetes in your lifetime

Summary: I endorse it
Review: I have formal training in evidence-based medicine. I am horrified at the lack of evidence for the world's biggest cult... lowfat diets. Dr Bernstein's stunningly obvious approach (check and diarise your own responses to food and circumstance) is surely the shame of the world's diabetes organisations (at least for many type II diabetics, recently, me included). The only difficulty for non-professionals is how to seduce your caregiver to use evidence instead of tradition when managing your case. Ask your Dr to access PubMed on the Net on lowfat diets and then to dare to give you the standard fare for diabetic diets. Traditional approaches are proven to increase insulin resistance, increase bad blood fats, and increase morbidity and mortality. The EVIDENCE, and the commonsense, is squarely behind Dr Bernstein. RUN to buy this book.
