Dear Dr. Bernstein: I've been
a type 1 diabetic for 33 years. I read your book, Dr. Bernstein's
Diabetes Solution, about 10 months ago. I was amazed by
all the information about diabetes, in one book! This book was
indeed, a complete guide to achieving normal blood sugars. I
had considered myself well educated on diabetes. Over the years
my personal doctors have told me I was doing very well. However,
my hemoglobin A1c tests have always ranged from 7.0 - 8.5. To really
be in "good control" and prevent complications (long
term), a diabetic should keep their blood sugars in the
non-diabetic range (hemoglobin A1c less than 6.0). However,
it was difficult for me to get a A1c of 7.0...
Since reading your book, my
last 3 hemoglobin A1c tests have all been less than 6.0, one
of my goals for many years. My most recent A1c was 5.5,
and it's really not hard to do now... Your book is truly an
amazing resource of information for all aspects of diabetes
(type 1 or2). I now communicate with many diabetics and strongly
encourage them to visit your web site, buy your book and use
it to normalize their blood sugars. I now believe, with only
very few exceptions, that any diabetic can get their A1c's less
than 6.0 if they follow recommendations in your book. I could
comment on so many helpful sections of your book... For example,
the chapter on "Strange Biology" has helped me
and many other diabetics understand and control those "unusual
things" that can be very confusing and depressing. Your
book has helped me get to the level of control I had just hoped
for, for so many years.
Thanks for taking the time and
effort to put this book together. And we should all be thankful
that you had a vision one day in October of 1969, when you saw
an advertisement in Lab World about some new device, a blood
sugar meter, that could maybe give a reading in 1 minute, using
only a single drop of blood; magical...
Sincerely,
Dennis Green - Phoenix, Arizona
