Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group
This is a group for anyone that is using Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution in full or in part (using a very low carb diet of around 30g/day) to manage their diabetes.
Profile Information
- The PRIMARY person in my life who has diabetes has
- Type 1 or type 1.5 (LADA) diabetes
- How do you hope to benefit from TuDiabetes?
- Help figuring out how to get the results I want (stable blood sugars 80-99) from following Dr. Bernstein's method.
- Date diagnosed
- September 27, 2008
- Most recent HbA1C %, date of result (optional)
- 5.6
- Type of treatment/devices you use
- Shots, Diet and Exercise
- What pump model do you use, if any?
- None
- Tell us more about you (optional)
- I've been trying to follow Doctor Bernstein's method as described in his Diabetes Solution book and against my Diabetic Educator's wishes. I'm frustrated with too much weight loss, being hungry--too long between meals and small meals--and either running high like 120+ or else having hypoglycemia when trying to stabilize in a lower range.
