5.0 out of 5 stars This book has saved my life!, 19 May 2002

By

mandy_rodrigues@lineone.net (Llandudno, North Wales) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution (Hardcover)

Within just two weeks of purchasing this book my blood glucose readings have fallen from being consistently over 11 to 6 and I am sure that within another week they will have fallen still further! I have already lost 8lbs in weight and haven't felt hungry once! This is a fantastic solution to all my problems. I can now look forward with confidence to a bright and healthy future. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in January of this year and thought my world had come to an end. Following the recommended diet prescribed by my doctor my blood glucose levels were constantly high and I was constantly hungry! Dr Bernstein's wonderful book has probably saved my life and the lives of everyone else that I can persuade to read it. For British readers I would recommend that you keep a calculator handy and just divide the American Blood Glucose readings by 18 to get the British equivalent as it will make understanding the book just a little easier. I can heartily recommend this book. Don't hesitate. The only thing you have got to lose is your high blood glucose and a bit of excess weight - what's wrong with that! Go on, be in charge of your diabetes management at last. You will not regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in gold - do not hesitate! Buy this book., 11 July 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution (Hardcover)

I have (knowingly) been diabetic for six months. My health care professionals have been telling me how well I'm doing, but the more time passed the less satisfied I was myself. Certainly my sugar levels returned to an "acceptable" level several hours after a meal, but a lot of the time they were way too high and the constant problem of fatigue was making normal functioning impossible. I hesitated over buying this book... YOU MUST NOT HESITATE. It is worth its weight in whatever precious commodity you choose to think of. All these reviews you can read here are a well deserved endorsement of a life-changing book by a truly remarkable man. For what is basically a fairly technical book this one reads very smoothly and is never heavy going. Some of the detail about insulin therapy will obviously not apply to everyone, and as a woman I got a bit fed up with the frequent references to how much it would improve my ability to have an erection! Why is that such a big deal guys? Nevertheless, despite not even having finished the book yet I was so impressed by the irrefutible logic of the theory that I began the diet regime four days ago. The results have been dramatic. My insulin use is already less than half what it was a week ago, I have loads more energy - hell I'm sitting here typing this! A week ago I couldn't have been bothered I promise you - and I haven't yet once felt hungry between meals Oh and by the way my sugar levels have stayed below 10 all the time and that is from a regular evening high of over 20! From what I've read of other's experiences this can only get better, so if you want to feel instantly better and save your life READ THIS BOOK. And please let's all annoy as many specialists, dieticians and diabetic nurses with it as possible until they start to take some notice.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a life-saver for diabetics., 7 April 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution (Hardcover)

This is the definitive study of both types I and II of diabletes. It debunks most of the misinformation handed out by the medical profession regarding diabetes and it is written by a physician with first-hand knowledge. I have been diagnosed with type-II diabetes six years ago, am a few days short of 63 years old, and have been able to normalize my blood sugar levels for the first time since then with the help of Dr. Bernstein's book. I am down to 9 units of injected insulin daily. My morning reading is now around 118, and my afternoon reading before dinner is around 90! My diabetic symptoms are rapidly disappearing, including locked shoulders and heart palpitations. BP: 140/75 pulse 70. I am actually losing weight for the first time in over 10 years. If you have diabetes and don't buy this book, then you don't want to get well. I am contemptuous of most doctors, but I say to Dr. Bernstein: "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a true scientist!"
