Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to managing both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, developed by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, a physician and lifelong Type 1 diabetic diagnosed in 1946. The core of the program centers on achieving normal blood glucose levels through a very low-carbohydrate diet (30 grams per day), meticulous blood sugar monitoring, and personalized insulin therapy.
Key Components of the Program
Diet: Limits carbohydrates to 30 grams per day, divided as 6g at breakfast, 12g at lunch, and 12g at dinner. It emphasizes foods that do not spike blood sugar, including most meats, eggs, non-starchy vegetables, full-fat dairy (in moderation), nuts (in controlled amounts), and artificial sweeteners.
Blood Sugar Monitoring: Daily testing is essential to understand how food, activity, and insulin affect glucose levels. Dr. Bernstein pioneered self-monitoring using early blood glucose meters.
Insulin Management: Uses small, precise doses of insulin based on carbohydrate intake and blood sugar levels, with specific guidance on correction doses and timing (e.g., waiting 5 hours after rapid-acting insulin before correcting).
Lifestyle Integration: Includes exercise to improve insulin sensitivity, strategies to manage hypoglycemia using pure glucose (e.g., Dex4 tablets), and tools like the Glucograf II for tracking data.
