Dr Bernstein passed on to his reward last April. He was a major influence on my own approach to diabetes treatment. We see very few “great men” in our times: He was one.
Dr Bernstein practiced what he preached, which explains how he lived to the age of 90. That is exceedingly rare for a type 1 diabetic.
Thanks to Jan at The Low Carb Diabetic for bringing this to my attention. She published an account of what it was like to be one of Dr Bernstein’s patients.

He was a pioneer in the Diabetes World.
There are many in the diabetes community who have cited a debt to Richard Bernstein in being able to finally take control of their diabetes after years of struggling.
All the best Jan
