hi Jim,

Glad you mentioned Dr. Richard Bernstein. In fact, he reversed his own advancing kidney disease by following a low-carb, higher protein diet. His story is also posted at his website ... My First Fifty Years as a Diabetic.

Diabetic Nephropathy is a direct result of uncontrolled high blood sugars, not protein.

He's also posted more from his book, Diabetes Solution, regarding the misinformation about high protein diets ... here.
