[QUOTE="jm164441, post: 1946725, member: 496317"] I find he's correct about a lot of things. I had a fatty liver in 2014. I had elevated AST/ALT in 2014, and very high triglycerides (333) 1 year ago (the same time that my A1C was 5.5) but after watching the video, I don't really share Jason's exuberance for diet as a cure. I've been doing intermittent fasting and LCHF for 4 months now, I've lost almost 50 pounds. I'm 1 pound away from a normal BMI. My FBG is in the 70s, and yet if I eat 20g of carb, my blood sugar will rocket up 60 points. The beta cells aren't coming back online, assuming they aren't already dead. Or maybe they've been alive the whole time but the IR is simply insurmountable? Who knows. I'm glad that I can seemingly arrest the process of my disease with these diet restrictions, but I've only undertaken these restrictions because I have an apparently hyper-aggressive case of diabetic neuropathy. According to the video, my IR should have reversed by now, and I should have a bit more leeway to eat carbs, right? But that's not what's happened. And I do believe IR is to blame because a couple weeks ago I ate something like 300g carb in a single sitting, instantly regretted it, then exercised continuously for the next 6 hours, in hopes of warding off the numbness/pain I knew would follow if my blood sugar went too high. It's a completely impractical solution but it worked! My blood sugar didn't reach ~130 and I miraculously escaped more pain. I can only amount this to exercise lowering my IR/glucose level, but this only lasts as long as I exercise. I don't seem to have gotten the IR reversal at rest that I thought weight loss would bring.
