Message: <blockquote data-quote="christmasfairy1" data-source="post: 2697460" data-attributes="member: 574998">HI everyone , I was diagnosed type 3c march 2023, it's been a nightmare ever since.Gastro specialist, liver specialist 2 different diabetic teams I was 80kg last March and now fluctuating between 92kg and 97kgAfter seeing the diabetic team linked to the liver team they've told me I need to loose weight but won't prescribe injectables like victoza as they aren't licensed for "type 1's"I am struggling with mobility as I had an accident 3 years ago and broke all my ribs- 5 of them have fused with nerves between them plus ascites and odema from pancreas issues.I feel like I'm going round in circles,  trying to loose weight - just had a phone call from diabetic nurses who I asked if I could try a high protein low carb diet was told no because I need insulin with meals containing  carbs, yet they've repeatedly told me if I don't eat carbs in a meal I shouldn't take any insulin.Has anyone tried a vlcd or Aitkens type diet whilst having 3c?The additional weight is adding to my issues and causing everything combined to really effect my mental health.Tia to anyone who can offer any insight,  advice or even just reads my post <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
