I believe that my DS3 has early signs of diabetes - that's one of the reasons I wanted to go on this diet, so that I could get him better ASAP and give his pancreas the best chance.

Elaine and Dr. Bernstein have both been critical of the Glycemic Index, They had that in common. ( Elaine because the initial research did not distinguish between mono and disaccharides,-- which is all I know about this.) I have seen mention of the Bernstein Diet on autism lists but am not familiar with it beyond the two points above. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi Vicki and Steph, I am not familiar with the Berstein diet. However, some diabetics from the long Island list reported reduction in amounts of insulin they needed to take, more level blood sugars etc. with the SCD. I convinced my parents to try the diet for a while, Dad is diabetic. While they stayed on it, he told me the same things, his blood sugar stayed more even throughout the day and he was able to reduce the amounts of insulin and overall he said he felt much better. Unfortunately, they didn't keep up with the diet. Sheila > >Is there anybody out there that is following the SCD and Diabetes Diet (Dr > >Bernstein's)?

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hi everyone, Just wanted to thank you for the wealth of information about SCD + Diabetes Diet. Very gratefully received. I follow SCD for my gut issues but am looking to help Gemma with the Diabetes Diet and wondered if I could follow both at once. I've had two responses from people who have done both in the past and think I may be able to work them into our family with their help/husband's support/doctor's guidance. Thanks again Vicki PS: Has anyone heard how Marilyn is doing - she only just went back to New Orleans when news of Rita broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
