Misty, it really depends on WHO you ask. I think Dr. Bernstein’s ideas make a lot of sense. But I choose to balance between maintaining perfect blood sugar numbers and quality of life.
I cannot imagine living the way Dr. B does. But I wish that I were motivated to!!
So I try to keep my numbers between 70 and 120… and I don’t freak out if it goes up to 150. I don’t like to see numbers higher than that, but the reality for me is that it happens.
I read Dr. B for inspiration and motivation, but I have not successfully followed his plan yet! Others do and have great results. But, it’s a huge commitment and change of lifestyle. I “threaten” myself with Dr. Bernstein-- if I can’t keep good control with my lifestyle, then I will force myself to live with his!!
