RIP: Dr Richard Bernstein, Modern Diabetes Pioneer

Dr Bernstein passed on to his reward last April. He was a major influence on my own approach to diabetes treatment. We see very few “great men” in our times: He was one.

Dr Bernstein practiced what he preached, which explains how he lived to the age of 90. That is exceedingly rare for a type 1 diabetic.

Thanks to Jan at The Low Carb Diabetic for bringing this to my attention. She published an account of what it was like to be one of Dr Bernstein’s patients.

Steve Parker, M.D.
