I never really understood diabetes until I read his book. Being a slow learner meant reading it more than once. It's still my go-to source when I have questions - you'd think I'd have it memorized by now.

While I enjoy reading low carb sites like this one, a lot of non-diabetic low carbers don't really understand that we can't have cheat days, we can't play around with our food plan because it is truly a matter of life and death. My toes hurt & I don't want to lose them - that would be the first death.

I wish I had read Dr. Bernstein's book long ago, before things got so bad. I'm now a Dr. B missionary, like the friend who urged me to read the book.
