RE: normalizing sugars reversing complications

October 25, 2006

It sounds revolutionary! Are these the teachings of an insane person? What

makes him so special? After all my doctor says keeping an A1C under 7.0 is

just fine. Do you just want us to starve to death? How do you expect a

type1 or a type2 to accomplish this revolutionary task?

Is it true that you are a type1 diabetic who went blind running A1C's under

7.0, or was it under 6.0?

Just because you went blind with diabetic complications is no sign that I

will go blind, too. Every body is different, and this does not mean my

kidney problems and impotence is caused by not having normalized blood

glucose levels. Are you just trying to scare us into this crazy idea of

normalized bs levels? After all Dr. Bernstein may be a dotering old fool,

who is definitely out of step with his medical profession, the AMA, not to

mention the American Diabetes Association, the ADA.

After all there is no way a diabetic, either a type1 or a type2 can exercise

on this normalized plan. How can you exercise and keep your bs level 80-90?

I say it is virtually impossible. Let's talk sense here and not listen to a

bunch of KOOKS.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for the feedback. Imagine you having a strong opinion *grin*.

My lab work proves anything I have posted. Bernsteins approach to normalizing

sugars is proven. It is not some unproven unrehearsed method of treatment for

diabetics. Dr b has 25 years of patient research to back adn proove his

treatment is the only form of treatment that *normalizes* blood sugars and can

reverse diabetic complications or fully prevent future ones.

Bernstein had *all* his diabetic complications reverse by not eating quick

acting carbs and normalizing his blood sugars through diet.

I'm not suggesting that everyones complications can fully reverse, it really

depends on how far along they are, but bernsteins was pretty far along and they

reversed. My kidney function has improved and am hoping it reverses over the

next couple of months.

I feel great! Come join me you old cranky georgian *laugh*.

This treatment for diabetes and normalizing sugars works and my lab work showing

a creatinine of 2.0 to a 1.6 is proof in only a month! *grin*.

btw dr B exercises all the time so not sure why you would think you cannot

normalize your sugars if you exercise?
