[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1279737, member: 13978"] What's your weight like? Do you need to get your BMI down - there seems to be an effect where your liver is what's most insulin resistant - one of the important jobs of insulin is to tell the liver to stop pumping out glucose when it's already at a high level, but having a fatty liver will make it resistant to this message. As you lose weight and your liver returns to being less fatty, you will probably find it's going to cut down your background glucose level. Hope you enjoy the low carb diet as much as I have, and you'll probably find, as many here have, that it'll not only very quickly lower your BG, but weight loss will be a side-effect and that will lower your BG too, so it'll be a 'virtuous circle' [/QUOTE]
