I’ve owned several of the books, I’ve given several away. I would recommend that you read, learn and think of the book as teaching your “prinicples.” It talks about a lot of aspects of diabetes, and a lot of emphasis is on diet. The diet is important, but achieving the dietary targets of 6-12-12 (carbs in breakfast-lunch-dinner) is not as important as embracing carb restriction. I’ve been at this a while, I don’t eat 6-12-12 and you don’t have. But I believe in the ideas, and I’d recommend them to you. For a more extensive Bernstein community check out diabetes-book.com. Dr. B has a recipe book, but I can’t really recommend it. I have found that I can eat gourmet meals fit for a king and still do low carb.
