Don't be looking for false hope or miracle cures but I'll bet you will walk away feeling better about controlling your condition.

As a matter of fact it surprises me you haven't already read it.

OK that's all the book pushing I'm going to do
Dr. Bernstein is a Type I. Since there are such differences between the type II and Type I, is it as relevant to a type II? Sometimes as I am reading our posts I have to stop and work through the Type I and Type II differences, but we both have to keep the carbs down. What do you that have read the book think?
And while I am thinking of the differences, is there a test that shows how much insulin a body is producing that is actually working? I've never had one and sometimes wonder if I have much helping me through. I realize that I, as a type II produce insulin but some or all of it does not function for me. I don't know if I'd ever know if that changes.
