Duck, I know your post was aimed at Mark but you've always come across as intelegent and knowlegable (humor as well) as to the diabetes condition and I look forward to your comments after you read the book.
From what I know about Bernstein, the American Diabetes Association basically loathes him because he is sooooo aggressive with his blood-sugar goals. From what I can tell, he states he is under 100 almost all day long with no hypos. <--that freaks me out just thinking about trying to stay in that range! But I looked the book up on Amazon, and it has a 4.5 star review based on 114 reviews, which is pretty good. Then again, "Dianetics" by L. Ron Hubbard has a 4.5 star review based on 300+ reviews, so...

It may take me a while to read this book, but I will definitely post my thoughts. If nothing else, Bernstein has had this disease for 60+ years, so his experiences alone should be worth the read.

Barry, are you saying you have this book? If so, what do you think?
