Dr. Bernstein, a Type I diabetic, writes a very detailed book in which he describes his system for controlling diabetes.  He offers a step-by-step system where patients can take control and adjust their sugar levels to normal through his diet and exercise program. 

Dr. Bernstein begins the book with chapters on the basics of diabetes, tests for baseline measure of the disease, supplies needed, how and when to measure blood sugar, recording blood sugar and a treatment plan.

He then continues with the next section on treatment such as a customized meal plan, weight loss, and exercise.

In the last section there is information on low-carbohydrate meals and several recipes are included.

This is a very detailed-oriented book and is excellent reading for patients who have diabetes or anyone who has a family member with this disease.  The book is written in a manner which is easy for every person to understand.  Dr. Bernstein also offers testimonials in the book from patients who have used his methods.  He does a very thorough job of explaining his logic for this type of diet and exercise program.
