Dr Richard Bernstein, 90, of Mamaroneck, NY passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Born in 1934 in Brooklyn, New York, he was stricken with Juvenile Onset Diabetes at the age of 12. He earned an engineering degree from Columbia University and had a career in the laboratory and medical devices industry. In the early 1970s he adapted a blood glucose meter for personal use and pioneered Diabetes Home Glucose Monitoring. Using self- experimentation to develop a regimen of glucose monitoring, diet and multiple daily insulin shots, he radically improved his own health. He enrolled in the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and graduated at the age of 48. He subsequently practiced medicine as a Diabetologist in Mamaroneck, NY until his death. He published multiple books on Diabetes including the #1 selling Diabetes book on Amazon.Com “Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution: A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars” and “Diabetes Type II: Living a Long, Healthy Life Through Blood Sugar Normalization”. His “Diabetes University” videos on YouTube brought his Diabetes treatment strategies to a global audience. He made many discoveries and published articles in prestigious medical journals about Diabetes, complications of Diabetes and autoimmune disorders suffered by diabetics. He credited his longevity and good health to tight control of his blood sugars, exercise and his low carb diet and insisted that all diabetics have the right to normal blood sugars. In his spare time, he was an avid boater, sailor and astrophotographer with a particular passion for photographing eclipses. He is survived by his partner Joyce Kaplan, daughter Julie Borhani and husband David, daughter Lili Goralnick and husband Howard, son Jeffrey and wife Michele and grandchildren Jody, Bella, Nathan and Adin.
