Question

Has anyone asked Dr. Bernstein about this? Do we know why it works?

My fear is that your bg reduction may be due to the laser's stimulative action on the pancreas. If that is the mechanism by which the glucose is lowered it's tantamount to the action of a sulfonylurea with resultant loss of beta cells. And as we all know, that's what got us Type II's into this fine mess in the first place.

Just a thought.

Jim
