Yes, both pages are about the same person. Bernstein is the correct spelling of his name.

I have tried to add some more information and to also fill in some references. I'm just learning to do refs, so I invite anyone else to please clean up anything that I might have done wrong. Itsme2003 07:09, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
The neutrality of the biography section needs to be checked as it reads more like a magazine puff piece in places. In a related issue, the tone of this section isn't encyclopaedic. Verbal chat 21:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I agree. Not just the bio but the whole article shows this bias. I placed a "citation needed" into the text after the claim that his diet is "well regarded" and achieves "great" glucose control. That sounds like ad copy, not science. Ignatios2000 ( talk) 15:39, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Should the details of the diet he promotes really be on his biographical page? He and his diet are two distinct entities, so the details, rather than being put here in a rather promotional manner, should really go on their own page if they can pass the notability requirements. 199.83.63.53 ( talk) 14:05, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

It is a bit ridiculous to see the "notability question mark" box on the main article page. This is a very well-known person with good reason, as a casual google search will show. Among other things, he is responsible for the availability of home testing kits for blood sugar. When he started trying to monitor his diabetes, testing kits were only available to doctors (he got one through his doctor wife).

Just to clarify further, I do not know Dr Bernstein at all and have never interacted with him. I live on the other side of the world. I have read his book, that's about it. I do think he is "notable" beyond any question, though he appears to keep a low profile without self-promotion. 219.74.197.230 ( talk) 07:42, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
