[QUOTE="Totto, post: 585102, member: 91524"] Possibly there is a link to cholesterol too, at least triglycerides. I have been taught through a Swedish low carb forum that high triglyserides indicate metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, possible insulin resistance and the rest while us that really do LCHF and that is far higher in fat than any Atkins or such, usually have triglycerides on the low side of normal. I for example have tri at 0.7, LDL at 3.3 ( lowest ever) HDL at 2.2. And my GP wants me on statins, never I said. Personally I would have found my diabetes diagnosis easier if I had been taken seriously despite of my lack of metabolic syndrome but there you go, we are all different and you can have a wacky pancreas or at least beta cells without metabolic syndrome. In short, I think you are on the right track. Fatty liver is a sign of the metabolic syndrome and is cured by LCHF as is the metabolic syndrome as such, diabetes or not. Good luck, I think you are brave and do a really good job. Keep at it. [/QUOTE]
