Diabetes-Related Items
Our connection to diabetes is our son, Andrew. He was diagnosed with
type 1 diabetes
in June of 2010, soon after his fifth birthday. Almost immediately, our family
adopted the management regimen created by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, as
described in his national bestselling book,
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution.
As of July 2021, Andrew is 16 years old and 11 years past
his T1D diagnosis, and has achieved and maintained A1c values very near to 5%
for that entire time. In layman's terms, he is doing extremely well on the
regimen and achieving remarkable success with diabetes management.
