I can't comment on Atkins because I don't know much about him or his diet.
What I do know about Bernstien is he belives in the "law of low numbers"; Where if you only eat 10g of carb for a meal and you under or over estimate insulin dose, it takes very little insulin or carb to get you to a normal range easily. In todays world of "Precision amongst bigger numbers" it's true that when you are off, it may be more difficult to correct a low or a high, but with the precision of grams of carbs to insulin units it is much easier to be almost just as precise as with the "Law of low numbers"
For those interested here are my notes on the Bernstien CD's
~ denotes my comment. Sorry if this seems unreadable. Many points are arguable, but you must remember, treating your diabetes is a personal choice. Bruce Lee founded a martial are call "Jeet Kun Do" the premise of this martial art is to take the fighting skills that can be used sucessfully by you against your opponent. Obvioulsy the moves used by a 6'4 250lb guy will usually be much different then a 5'6" 140 lb guy. Speed, muscle, mind, spirit also requires individualistic fighting techniques. In what I have dubbed "The Tao of Diabetes", I believe these same principals apply for treating your diabetes and Bernstiens teachings are a great arsonal to know.

Bernstien Notes
Was put on low fat high carb diet it _ was an extreme ~ hypos were to be avoided and so was fat
Mathmatics of the disease
Protienura and mucular edema was reversed his neuropathy stayed and was not reversable
Why isnt neuropathy reversable?
Medical writer before MD
Diabetics to doctor themselvesBGL cecking was a threat to drs who treat compications
Cell therapy the same?
45 years old first year of medschool
The jeet kun do of diabetes
Normal BGL around the clock
most diabetics loose teeth by 40 ~ i dont believe this
1500 protien spillage down to 160 ~ 150 is normal
claims 100% of his pTients have soriescis
All records from every dr
Diabetic fatty liver
Protiens do not go through the kidneys due to charge? Kidney damage is reversible
83 is normal BGL in healthy people
4.4 and 4.8 normal A1C
Nerve cells dont require insulin most body cells do
The liver destroys insulin ~ does it destroy it in non diabetics?
This happens the most in the morning when you get up. Hence dawn phenomenon
Very detremental to the lantus study. He claims that the clinic trials gave more insulin then neccessary. He gave an example of a healthy man that was given 70u of R IM and
It lasted a week because of the lump of insulin. I personally find that hard to believe.
Amalyn made by beta cells also makes you less sensitive to glucagon – also made in saliva
Anything that extends the gut releases glucagon ~ the chinese resteraunt effect ~ called this because chinese resteraunts seem to give you much much more then you can eat and when you do eat it and lets say that it is cellulose rich it will raise BGL because of the stretch of the stomach which in turn releases glucagon
Need to test this theory on myself
Claim all are 1u:8g or 1g:5mg/dl but then claims that 1g raises may raise you only 4g. This guy is not always consistant. Also claims that you shouldnt give more then 7u is the max for any shot also you cant predict when the insulin is going to start or going to stop or its absorption rate especially when you give large doses of insulin ~ you have got to be kidding me.
IM shots to get you at your target in about 1hr. These shots do have problems you dont always know if you hit IM. These tails can be risky as well. Wait 5hrs after IM shots to avoid bad hypo ~ the tail is still there
Never seen a long term diabetic that doesnt have gastroparesis ~ wrong
Glutol great for hypos. Real fast i think this is the concentrate i got in med office in danville
Fat doesnt make you fat, wont cause heart disease and carbs dont make you higher ~ this guy is getting nuts
Olive oil with rum to gain weight _ didnt work ~ he didnt explain what did
low carb higher fat works to not get you fat because less insulin means more lipolysis - Insulin halts lupolysis.
Vegas nerve - biggest nerve ~ look it up - important to erections
Exaling should slow heart rate - if not low you probably have slow digestion or impaired - changes in heart rate variation between inhaling and exhaling should be 50-75%. If heart rate is under 30% there will be bad digestion problems. This also mean the branches of the vegas nerve which are required for many processes
RR study ~ investigate
Gastroperieses ~ wtf it is such a common theme is it true? I dont think it is
Dinner digestion for people in general is slow
Claims dinner time meat is bad
