    Taking Metformin, and no dietary changes.

    I wanted to ask about the possible results of using the Metformin, and eating what I want. I am not doing this but I did some googling this a.m. to see if I could find something factual, or others experience. Then I came here because I like hearing from folks that actually have Diabetes more...

    hba1c prep

    Apologies for a longish post: I've been concerned about possible pancreas/gallbladder liver issues for a while because of rib pain; I went to see the doctor a couple of months ago and he diagnosed me with rib inflammation, said my liver and gall bladder seemed ok, but suggested I come back to...

    Liver Reduction Diet

    I have been referred for bariatric surgery and have been advised to follow a milk diet for two reasons. First to show I can lose weight (I can see why they are sceptical) and second to reduce the size of my liver. Much as I like milk, the diet doesn't appeal. I wondered if a low carb/keto diet...

    The journey so far...

    Hello all, I guess I never got to properly introduce myself, but thought, after my last HbA1C, this would be a good opportunity to share my story for others. I was diagnosed with Diabetes back in August 2019 and have since then followed a LCHF diet (almost hitting keto ranges at times, but not...

    Normal again

    I started a LCHF diet in June, but was unable to reach ketosis for some reason - possibly too much protein....? My HbA1c was 116 in May 2018, 54 in August, and today I found out it's now 43. My liver function tests were finally normal in August (ALT = 24, down from 66 a couple of years ago) and...

    metformin and Liver / gallbladder

    Good morning all I went to the docs last week , slow shifting cold, and some tummy discomfort. After a little poking, and after taking an arm full of blood, they think I may have a swollen liver from taking metformin, or may have gallbladder issues . Has anyone else had problems with their...

    T1D and your liver

    I wanted to ask if improving your liver functions would affect your blood sugar in a positive way? For example: you have high cholesterol and thus benign fatty liver, but not clinically relevant yet so your doctor shrugs it off. Would "tuning" up your liver through lifestyle and diet give you...

    Fatty Liver?
