[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2649149, member: 355878"] At diagnosis, although I think my liver was not in a bad way, it was huge. I had a sort of bay window, and it was rock hard. If I bent over my ribs were pushed out, and that really hurt. Over the time I have been eating low carb my waist and shape have altered a lot, and I suspect that all the stores in my liver could be released into my blood stream as things got back to normal. My waist is now 12 inches smaller. I have to reduce the waist size on my clothes each year, either remaking them or buying smaller sizes. I wonder if the lower numbers you were seeing was down to your pancreas hysterically putting out insulin, after some time finding itself ignored, but now you are putting things right eating low carb and with less insulin in your system what you are seeing is rather like the stuffing coming out of an over filled cushion once the seam is opened up. I definitely felt the benefit after I got my post meal numbers under 8 mmol/l. I kept to the same meals and saw my numbers continuing to fall, my weight dropped, although I did not realise - it just went without effort, so I can only encourage testing and adjusting to get a little lower post meals. I did find that I can extract more carbs from beans than the numbers given for them, so I was under estimating intake until I realised what was going on. [/QUOTE]
