SLOW & STEADY WINS THE RACE
There's no award for getting through 'The Book' quickly, and in our 1-to-1 coaching programs, we've found that many of the finer points get missed while racing to the finish. That's why we've broken the book down, chapter-by-chapter, month by month, to devote the time needed to each topic.
NO DRAMA, JUST FACTS
The diabetes community can be polarizing, unduly harsh, and full of blame. We're not here for that. We're covering the facts, and this membership group is created for those who want to learn all the subtleties of Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book within a caring, supportive low carb environment.
When the details become clear, you can customize much more easily.
SAVE YOUR SPOT!
"THIS IS WHAT WORKS.
I know, because I've been treating my own diabetes for 70+ years and I treat many diabetics.
I’M ABLE TO GIVE THEM ESSENTIALLY NORMAL BLOOD SUGARS NOT BY FOLLOWING THE RULES, BUT BY DOING WHAT WORKS."
– Dr. Richard K. Bernstein MD
the backstory
My name is Lisa La Nasa and I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2002.
I spent years frustrated with my blood sugar levels and in a state of severe depression. I was doing everything my medical team told me to do, and my numbers weren't improving. I felt like a failure and I didn't know how I was going to live like that.
With severe digestive issues, I understood that food was part of the answer to both blood sugars and stomach problems, but I didn't understand exactly how. I tried an extended gluten free/high carb diet, the South Beach diet, a vegan cleanse, and two Whole30's; all with modest but temporary improvements.
Then, in late 2013, I saw a beautiful, steady CGM graph posted online and I was stunned.
"How is that done!?!? I want that!"
I learned that the person was type 1, just like me, and followed the recommendations in Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book. That moment changed my life forever.
Now, years later, I've created and expanded diaVerge Diabetes, the preeminent provider of online low carb type 1 diabetes education and coaching. We've created this study group community thanks to your requests – to go in-depth into all of Dr. Bernstein's teachings.
Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book improved my life in a million different ways, and I truly believe that it can do the same for you.

Registration is open, and you can register at any time.
Upon registering, you can jump right in where the class is that month, and you also have access to the archives so you can review any topic that is of special interest to you as independent study.
*Please note: We are transitioning to a new community platform as of February 2024. By joining now, you will have access to the current Facebook group until time to move to the new platform.
You will need:
1.) A copy of Dr. Bernsein's Diabetes Solution book (2011 edition). This can be a physical copy or ebook. Many people find used versions for sale either locally or online, and you can check here on Amazon.com.
2.) Facebook account for access to our community page. Much of the conversation, the monthly study guide, and additional resources throughout the month will be posted to our private Facebook group and will not be available anywhere else.
3.) A great attitude, and willingness to participate and learn together! We ask that everyone get involved, and help to foster a supportive learning environment for all. Bullies will not be tolerated.
*If there is a bullying situation, we will give a warning to the offending person. If the behavior continues, we reserve the right to remove that person from our group without refund.
This study group strictly covers Dr. Richard K. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution book content, and how it compares with his newer recommendations within his Diabetes University videos.
This is not personalized coaching or problem-solving.
If you need specific help with your blood sugar levels, we do offer 1:1 diabetes coaching and our incredibly in-depth Diabetes Redesigned Education & Support program, both of which are customized to your personal goals.
If you'd like to learn if coaching or one of our educational programs is the right fit for you, please schedule a free consultation here.
First of all, the monthly group discussion calls will be recorded and available to all of our members, regardless of your time zone.
What we've found works for both North America and Australia is a USA evening/Australia morning timeslot. Because of this, we've selected the third Thursday of the month at 3 PM and 8 PM Eastern USA & Canada.*
*This will stay consistent throughout the year, even as other timezones shift with daylight savings/standard time changes around the world. We'll update the schedule in our Facebook group and via email.
Dr. Bernstein's book contains 24 informational chapters plus 5 appendices (not including the Foreword, Preface, Dr. B's Story, Testimonials, and Cookbook).
Depending on each chapter's content, we will cover 1-3 chapters per month, and we have a preliminary schedule of 18 months total to get through the book.
This is a rolling membership, so we are accepting ongoing registrations. When we're done going through the book once, we'll start over again at the beginning.
The benefits of lifetime membership are:
While many of our members are people living with type 1 diabetes, this group welcomes any connection with diabetes. Whether you are type 1, type 2, LADA, MODY, Gestational, Borderline, or have an immediate family members with any of these diagnoses, you are welcome.
We offer a 30-day money back guarantee for all the membership levels. If you decide this group is not a good fit for you, contact studygroup@diaverge.com within the first 30 days of your membership for a refund.
If you decide to cancel after your initial 30 days, you will cancel all future payments and you'll retain access to all the materials until your prepaid subscription cycle is done (either monthly or yearly). After your prepaid billing cycle is complete, you will lose access to the group and all past and future materials there.
*Please note: If you cancel and decide to re-join at a later date, you will join at the current membership rate, NOT the discounted rate that you have access to now.
