[QUOTE="Southport GP, post: 585028, member: 74036"] Thanks everyone I am getting so interested in this liver thing which seems to have links with type 2 diabetes . I have now found lots of info on it under NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease). Prof Roy Taylor of Newcastle Uni knows much about it The only body organ that can deal with excess glucose is the liver - gradually the liver cells over burdened by glucose convert it to fat (triglyceride ) then the resulting fatty liver can cause insulin resistance which pre disposes to type two diabetes. There is a recognised link between a raised GGT or ALT liver result and the risk of diabetes. I am looking at the results and there are very significant improvements in these liver function tests in our LCHF folk who loose weight . I wonder if this is a new way to help explain why a LCHF diet seems to help some folk ? I am in the process of writing it all up, sourcing references then will share more with you all .certainly showing more interest in liver function test seems worthwhile . [/QUOTE]
