I avoided refined carbs during this period except once or twice a week.What a great and fast response. So, what was/is your diet?
How did you start controlling your weight? It may help others to know.I am a doctor and type 1 diabetic. I became obese by overdosing insulin and over eating. In may 2015 i started to control my weight and actually lost 42 kg over period of 8 and a half months still keeping my diabetes under control. Now i am having ideal bmi for over a year. Weight is now 74kg. It took a great deal of effort actually.
It must have been enough to resolve any fatty liver, maybe? Did you monitor your liver enzymes throughout or just the normal annual blood test for all diabetics?I avoided refined carbs during this period except once or twice a week.
My LFTs remained ok during the period. Monitored quaterly.It must have been enough to resolve any fatty liver, maybe? Did you monitor your liver enzymes throughout or just the normal annual blood test for all diabetics?
It's great how the knowledge is making such a difference. Thank you for your encouragement and input on this thread.
Like many are saying those maintaining are the greatest heroes!
@Rachox do you know if you still had fatty liver? Would you say you've nearly reversed your diabetes or diet controlled so feel not reversed?
Great posts by the way! Hope your healing steadily and looking forward to your next stage of defeating your diabetes. Get well soon.
I bought new scales to discover old ones are fine, it was my uneven bathroom floor. Kitchen is the same and carpeted everywhere else.
So come spring I'm weighing myself outside and may back myself up with the print out one at boots, in town, once a week. I'll keep the print outs for temerity.
Both scales have Bluetooth but need to trust their results. I might buy a wooden board to put underneath as a flat surface until I put new bathroom flooring down? Anyone else ever had to do that before?
Tried that. My scales are bigger than my current chopping board, humf. I can get an off cut from a wood supplier soon. Fingers crossed.A cheap chopping board would likely stop any carpet impact.
Try and prevent feeding those extra muscles with glucose (carbs mainly). The liver dumps just like muscles can dump too if on the wrong diet, ask any bodybuilder. The aim is to tone muscles up not gain muscles. To tone is to shed fat from the muscle and water. Work those new muscle masses for a long time will solve the problem and no weight bearing as it produces more muscle mass on your frame.Morning. I’m exactly 1kg heavier than last week. However my body fat percentage is slightly down, so think the gym visits are building muscle.
Have eaten a lot this week, so happy with that!
