Just a couple of comments regarding this artice from a type 1 diabetic.

Low carb works well for diabetics. It takes the swings out the sugar readings and aids in the loss of weight which reduces insulin requirements even further. I lost over 70lbs without really trying by following the advice in Dr. Berstein's book, Diabetes Solution. It changed my life.

I will reserve my caustic comments for the American Diabetes Association. The ADA will never admit that they are wrong. They would have to change all of their cookbooks. They also would loose most of their donors as people lost weight and became non-diabetic. And then what would they do? Did you know that the ADA spends less than 20% of money received on research. They use children extensively in their ads to get people to donate but do almost nothing for type 1 reseach. Type 1 being the type that impact children that they exploit in their ads. They are a complete and total waste and anyone that gives money to them is a fool.

My son is a Type 1 diabetic--thank you, I will check out this book and see what I can learn that will help him.

Amen! My son was diagnosed with Type 1 at 4 years old. He is 6 now, loves sports and excercises constantly. His sugar still fluctuates up and down and it's hard to keep a handle on it, even though we have done everything by the book(the ADA book, that is). The crap fed to you from the doctors and ADA about diet, etc., is just that. I want to thank whoever posted this article as I have just ordered Dr. Bernstein's book. I look forward to getting my son back into good working order, as well as the rest of us. PyroMan
