Comment by Gerri on March 10, 2013 at 5:44am Photos of Dr. B on the web that can be downloaded, if this is something the group wants. Or, Janina, you can ask him.
Can someone persuade Dr Bernstein to provide a photo of his face to add as the "image" for the group. I suggest he offer the one that is used in his books on the cover as that is one that most people will recognize. What do others think?
Maybe he might object as he might say he is not contributing to the site, but we could say that we are discussing what is in his books and have valued his effort in educating us, so having his picture would add more personality to the group, his personality.

Comment by Dub1045 on October 20, 2012 at 5:49am Interesting visit w Dr.. He wants to drop diabetes dx. I had to tell HIM that I am managing my D not curing it. Gave him copy of Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Diet Book. Said he would read it. Could not disagree with my results.
That is really great news and earlier you said you were off the metformin which I was glad to hear. You sure are doing things the right way.
Comment by Dub1045 on October 18, 2012 at 10:27pm Whoopee! 8 months after dx, A1C 5.4. Cholestrol 155 Triglycerides 130. Weight -37 lbs.
No Diabetes drugs since August 2nd. Strictly following Dr B.'s diet guidelines. It works.
Comment by David (dns) on September 14, 2012 at 11:23pm Hana,
What works for one person, doesn't for another, and vice versa. The examples are legion. If that's not "different" then nothing is.
With respect, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Comment by Dub1045 on September 14, 2012 at 1:46pm David, I am please to learn by your example, that I am on the right track. I am keeping my numbers in the 90's to below 110. I am off of Metformin and the ailments I had with poor bladder control, constipation, and devasting fatigue, have gone away. I feel better every day I am away from it (45 days and counting). I am focusing more on portion control now and hope to see numbers such as yours in the future. Thanks for the encouraging news.
