A remarkable man. Who spoke the truth about food and diabetes.
A huge advocate for a low carbohydrate lifestyle resulting in lower blood glucose levels and as a result lower insulin doses. ( no more rollercoasters) “ law of small numbers “
Dr Bernstein had to learn the hard way with Type 1 Diabetes after years of struggling with awful blood sugar levels and symptoms and been given bad advice from the medical profession he decided he would have to take control himself.
He eventually gave up his Engineering career to become a medical Doctor so he could help fellow Type 1 Diabetics try to live a symptoms free life.
In the early 1970s he adapted a blood glucose meter for personal use and pioneered Diabetes Home Glucose Monitoring. Using self- experimentation to develop a regimen of glucose monitoring, diet and multiple daily insulin shots, he radically improved his own health and the health of thousands of type 1 diabetic through his books and YouTube channel.
A fantastic man who lived with Type 1 diabetes till the age of 90.
I hope I live as long as Dr Bernstein did with Type 1 Diabetes.
Thank you Dr Bernstein for all the knowledge and endless work you did for your fellow Type 1 diabetics ###
Gutted to say the least.
Rest in peace Dr Richard Bernstein 🙏
Celebrate the life of Richard Bernstein, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Sinai Chapels.
