Episode notes

Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was just 11, Dr. Richard Bernstein has lived with the condition for a remarkable 78 years. At the age of 89, he continues to serve patients.

In 1969, he invented self-monitoring of blood glucose, revolutionizing the way patients could manage their condition. He further changed the game in 1970, inventing the basal/bolus insulin dosing technique, providing a more efficient approach to diabetes management.

Since 1971, he has followed a low carbohydrate diet, proving that careful nutrition management can play a key role in controlling diabetes. Beyond his own personal practice, Dr. Bernstein has been an active advocate and educator, having penned the authoritative guide, "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution". He has also created "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes University", a video series accessible via the internet that provides comprehensive insights into the world of diabetes management.
