I'm type 1 since a very long time and I read Dr Bernstein, and I started low carbs diet near 2 years ago. I believe in small numbers Cindy but I can't live with the numbers of carbs of dr Bernstein. So there is a before and an after in my diabetic life; before Ieat more than 130 grammes of carbs each meal (lunch and dinner) my blood sugar was very high after meals and many complications. After my reading, I eat only 40 grammes of carbs at each meal and my A1C is around 7. I still take care about fat but I eat more vegetables and more meats, and some cheese? And my cholesterol is low and OK. Because of a big open heart surgery in 2003, my cardio put me under statins but no trouble with my numbers of cholesterol. And I'm thin (you can look on my photos's profile). I made an adaptation of dr Bernstein diet. This is my small experience, if it can help you.
