Dear Doctor Bernstein,
In October, 2004 I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2.
My initial blood glucose reading was 440, and I was started
on insulin. The PA who saw me suggested low carbohydrate
diet, but also gave me the standard diabetes exchange sheets
and a talk on the ADA treatment methods.
I went looking on the web for advice, and found your website.
I purchased the book and was glad I did. Now, a little more
than a month later, my blood glucose levels average in the
90s, with a good number of them in the 80s. I feel better
than I have felt in a long time.
I've lost 17 lbs in the past month, and I think things
will be OK. My game plan is to lose weight (I'm 100 pounds
obese, probably why I got the diabetes in the first place)
and use the injected insulin once a day to give my pancreas
a break. Once the weight is gone, perhaps I can get off
the medicine altogether.
By the way, I found a good herbal diabetes treatment,
the herb Gymnema Sylvestre. I take tea made with 6g. of
G. Sylvestre daily, and when I started doing that, things
came down 5-8 points per reading on the average.
There is a lot of research surrounding this herb for diabetes
treatment, you might enjoy checking it out.
So, THANK YOU for your book and your outlook. I have certainly
benefited
from it!
Thanks,
Chuck Kruse
