    Skin

    I use CeraVe it was developed with dermatologists. They have a few different cleansers which I use as my body wash as it doesn’t distrupt the protective skin barrier. They also have different body and facial moisturizers, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

    Prediabetes

    Thank you for answering my questions. I was more querying why my blood glucose goes up whilst fasting from say a 4.4 on waking and 3 hours later in a fasting state it always seems to go higher.

    SKIN TAGS AND INSULIN RESISTANCE

Repeat daily for the next few days and it will drop off. There are no nerves in a skin tag only a blood supply and by cutting the blood supply off it...

    Fatty liver ?

    LCHF diet will help along with some intermittent fasting. And of course some cardio exercise will help too. There's quite a few people on here that do intermittent fasting if you need any guidance I am sure you will find some.

    Hi

    What has your doctor said re the treatment? I would definitely keep to a low carb diet. As far as I know it is caused from too high BG over a length of time. There's lot's of people on here who follow a low carb diet so I am sure that you will find lot's of guidance here.
