Just joined. I'm type 2, 60 years old, using three different medications to hold numbers down. Learned early that only diabetics know how to handle this thing properly. Recently read Richard Bernstein's Diabetes Diet, where he cuts out almost all carbs. Interested in any discussion regarding this book, for or against. Hope we can all help each other. :)

Hi Buddy! Nice to meet you. Welcome to this Great Forum. I hope you enjoy it here as much as we do. I have 2 Type 2 Friends and a few Uncles with it. It sounds about as much fun as Type 1 is, just different aspects of it.
I'm not on a low-carb diet although I was not a big carb eater in the first
place. Once in a while I will over-do for a treat. I did not read Bernstein's Book but I have heard alot of good feed-back from people about it. I suspect I'll have to sit on the fence when it comes to cutting almost all carbs out. Everything in moderation. I must say, I do not agree with the Atkin's Diet either. Again Welcome and Good Luck with your numbers. ;)

Hi Buddy! Welcome! You've come to a great place! There are a lot of great people here and a lot of wonderful information.

I visit a lot of diabetes websites including Bernstein's. I've been following the Bernstein plan pretty religiously since December '04 and have seen great improvements in my BGs and cholesterol. I know his way of doing things is not for everyone, but it's really what has worked best for me.

Again, welcome! :)

Hi Buddy~ Just wanted to give you a big Welcome!

I have Bernstein's (low carb) book, but have only glanced through it. I'll eventually get to it. I'll be curious to see what you think of it. (Been reading the book "Stiff" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0393050939/104-4466313-1906339?v=glance) as of late.) lol
